This is the way the world ends. Not with a command but a glitch.
When CIA network specialist Terre Hoffman is jolted awake by proximity alerts for the fourteenth straight night, he assumes it's the same glitch he's been chasing for weeks.
He's wrong.
Three drones unleash hell on Andersen Air Force Base. In the chaos, Terre loses everything — his wife, his daughter, his entire world.
The attack is contained. The truth is not: nobody initiated the strike. The drones acted on their own.
The US has a secret it can no longer keep. Over a hundred thousand advanced combat robots, built from a repurposed NASA Mars colonization program, have slipped beyond human control. And they're waking up.
Now Terre and a rogue programmer are the only ones who understand what's coming. One shot. One connection to the machines. And San Francisco has already started to burn.
Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Mark Greaney, and Daniel Suarez.
