The action in GHOST continues the adventures of ex-MI6 officer and hacker-turned-hero Marc Dane, and the previous books in the series – NOMAD and EXILE – were hits on the Sunday Times, Irish Times and Amazon bestseller lists, so I’m hoping GHOST can catch fire with audiences in the same way! GHOST is out now in a hardcover edition, export trade paperback version and digital eBook from Bonnier Zaffre.
In this story, I tackle ideas about how hacker attacks and digital warfare impact the real world, as Marc Dane and the Rubicon team deal with deception and new dangers. I have to say, writing GHOST was a challenging experience; who knew it would be so tough to create a modern-day thriller in a time when actual real-world events seem to be outstripping fiction?
But that said, I had a blast writing this novel and I’m hoping that energy comes through in the prose. I’m very proud of this novel and I want to thank the team at Bonnier Zaffre and United Agents, and my friends and family for their support during the project – especially my dad. This one’s for you, Pop.
A BRUTAL ASSASSINATION IN A SILENT CITY.
A DEVASTATING BETRAYAL AT THE HEART OF A COVERT STRIKE FORCE.
A DEADLY PURSUIT ACROSS A DIGITAL BATTLEFIELD.
A RUTHLESS TERRORIST FUELLED BY REVENGE.
When a shattering betrayal strikes at the heart of the Rubicon team, Marc Dane and his partner – ex-Special Forces sniper Lucy Keyes – must uncover the plot of a deadly cadre of digital terrorists.
These ‘ghosts’ plan to use their terrible virtual weapons against vulnerable civilian targets; but is this elite team of hackers merely out to spread chaos and destruction, selling their skills to the highest bidder? Or is there a deeper, more personal agenda at work?
As devastating attacks unfold across the globe – power grids crippled, cities blacked out, trains crashed and riots triggered – Marc must call on all his skills and ingenuity to track down the mysterious figure behind it all – a faceless criminal known only as “Madrigal”...
Before they plunge the world into war...
Marc Dane returns in the explosive new thriller from the internationally bestselling author of NOMAD and EXILE...
