uncovers the undisclosed worlds of computer hackers, cyberterrorists
and Special Operations with exceptional realism. Pearson's first book,
which required extensive research, focuses on the secret military
internet, the Intelink, NSA hackers and cyberterrorism. STORM is the
first book in Pearson's cyber-thriller series.
In STORM, the Intelink—the secret U.S. Intelligence Communities'
intranet—is under attack by a rogue group of hackers, known as STORM.
Recruiting the talent of super-hacker Dutch, STORM journeys to
Compound Five, a combat training facility of the U.S. Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA), to attack the Intelink. This is not
the hack Dutch had anticipated, as he finds himself alongside the
STORM hackers pitted against a special unit of Navy SEALs in a
struggle to stay alive.
"Navy SEALs, NSA expert hackers, and DARPA (U.S.Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency) are involved in an attack on the Intelink
(the secret U.S.Intelligence Communities' intranet) by a global rogue
group of hackers. It's hard to tell fact from fiction. STORM is an
electrifying, cyber-security thriller that launches onto a real
battlefield."
— MG Paul E. Vallely, U.S. Army (Ret.), Chairman, Stand UpAmerica
"A great read that hits the ground running and keeps the pace from one
