Scars of the Past, Dark Web #2
We all love the convenience of connected devices, but what happens when those devices kill? That’s the premise of a new novel, SCARS OF THE PAST, by Angela Hausman that explores how hackers use IoT devices as weapons of destruction, even death. Jacob and his team of FBI cyber sleuths must find a serial killer hiding behind aberrant code in connected devices that’s killing Russian diplomats in the US drumming up support for Russia’s incursion into Ukraine. It seems anyone who opposes Ukrainian reunification is in danger—and the killers aren’t shy about leaving a trail of other bodies as collateral damage.
Azure's Revenge, Dark Web #3
Jody watches her crop of antibiotic-resistant Y. pestis grow, imagining the death and destruction they'll inflict when her accomplice, whom she knows only as the Angel of Death, releases them during the 4th of July celebration in Washington, DC. Visitors, in town for the festivities, will take home more than memories and souvenirs from this trip.
