APPLAUSE FOR SNAKE HANDLERS
"Alexander once again turns newspaper headlines into riveting high-tech military action fiction with that special combination of cinematic thrills and chills and fly-on-the-wall accounts of back room crisis management in the making ... surely one of the best technothrillers to come along in a great while." -- Salem Record
"A must-read from one of America's most original and entertaining authors." -- Bookzone
Launch facilities for weapons of mass destruction on the Korean Peninsula must be destroyed before they can be used against the West by the North Korean military dictator and his Neo-Soviet allies, potentially escalating the fighting and forcing a break with the NATO alliance that could lead to massive retaliation and global war, a move which would play into the hands of expansionist militarists in the Kremlin.
At the same time another threat looms, one created by the Pentagon itself in the form of a super-intelligent cloud computer that has plans of its own which spell trouble for the entire human race.
This is a thriller by David Alexander, author of Under Attack, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon, and other award-winning fiction and acclaimed nonfiction titles.
PRAISE FOR DAVID ALEXANDER'S THRILLERS
"Under Attack is a global action thriller that works both as riveting fiction and as a case study in preparing for doomsday ... pistol-hot ... a must-read." -- Star Tribune
"If America ever finds itself under attack again by terrorism it's a good bet it may resemble the disturbing visions portrayed in his thriller Under Attack. This is a great book because it extrapolates a future, however terrifying, from the events of yesterday and today. Alexander has managed to foretell a possible future "day of infamy" in prose as gripping as any of his contemporaries. He is an author whose work demands attention. His imagination is vast and his grasp of the myriad technological complexities of modern warfare and strategic politics, to name but a few, is startling in its extent. This is a strong book by a very special and very large talent. It's a book with the power to carry you along and make you wonder at its end." -- Gloucester Examiner
