Publisher's Synopsis
One lie can start a war. One truth might stop it.
The next world war won't begin with missiles - it will start with a deception so convincing, even America's most advanced intelligence system won't see it coming. When CIA cyber-operations officer Scott Douglass and a Homeland Security team in South Texas intercept suspicious military chatter between Russia and China, they stumble onto a disturbing discovery: someone is feeding false intelligence into AEGIS, the United States' top-tier artificial intelligence defense system. The implications are catastrophic. The military is mobilizing. The nation is on the brink. But who's behind the manipulation? And can it be stopped before the first shot is fired? As Douglass and his team trace the digital threads from Langley to the back alleys of Tehran, they uncover a chilling possibility - the enemy isn't just lying. They're controlling the truth. And if the next cyberattack succeeds, it won't just blind America. It will rewrite reality. With time running out and trust in short supply, Douglass must outmaneuver a faceless adversary in a war where the battlefield is information, and the weapon is belief.
Signals of Deception is a high-stakes geopolitical thriller that will keep you questioning every truth you think you know - until the final page.
