"International Money Hunt—Vanishing Drug Lords—A Missing Heiress!
Carlos and Juan, bad boy entrepreneurs with their undercover resource-gathering company, found a way to pirate satellite communications. A useful skill when it comes to relocating wanted drug lords and their reserves under the noses of Mexican authorities and despite American agencies.
The R-Group is called in to discretely explore the situation. Major global powers turn to these technologists to dig for sensitive evidence with private contracts. Undeniably, this R-Group is the most powerful covert information brokerage firm on the planet. Even with their ability to gather, analyze, and use intelligence rapidly, sometimes it’s not enough to solve the puzzle in time.
A series of chance events places the brothers and the R-Group on an intercept course. Whether or not these two very different organizations can effectively collaborate is, at best, problematic. When Carlos and Juan find themselves lined up in the sights of the R-Group, they are forced to choose sides.
In the second book of The Enigma Series, Breakfield and Burkey provide a tale of high-stakes data brokering, while remaining an enjoyable yarn of lost and found, loving and growing, but gambling with life and death."
"What would you do if the global markets for commodities went into free fall and national economies started to wobble?
Many individuals and governments would panic, fearing that countries might destabilize and throw the world into chaos. But not the R-Group! Its members— technological whizzes dedicated to protecting civilization from cyber enemies— immediately start hunting for the culprit to blame for the markets’ gyrations.
Team members Jacob, Petra, Quip, EZ, and others use their special expertise to investigate the price manipulations in the commodities markets. Their goal is to identify the “dark matter organization” responsible and stop it before it’s too late.
As the team members start uncovering clues, there are kidnappings, romances, and run-ins with a sinister computer genius who keeps a samurai sword ready in his office for heated discussions.
Packed with thrills and intrigue, The Enigma Broker is a thought-provoking cautionary tale for our technology-obsessed society."
"Cyber justice versus cyber peril, the way is filled with treachery.
In the new digital world, there is no tolerance for privately owned supercomputers. Globally, these mega AI-enhanced computers are hunted and destroyed for the greater good, by the new cyber police, CESPOOL. The information this group receives is manipulated by subversive hidden machine learning devices, the MAG running on the Darknet.
Judith and Xiamara, freebooters who steal machine time for their porn as a service business, are creating a business. The machine they chose for delivery is the last untapped supercomputer not in the hands of a sovereign. Their activity is spotted by the MAG!
The renegade R-Group steps in to alter the outcome. Leroy teams up with Zara to snatch these opportunists from prosecution and capture the machine to meet their goals. The geeky girls are drafted as reluctant participants in the fight for justice.
Jacob and Quip are trapped in the Chihuahuan Desert trying to reconstruct ICABOD’s logic core. The stress of their isolation is taking a toll. Their wives and children are safe in Brazil for the time being, but Interpol is prowling for answers.
R-Group assembled a way to communicate with orphaned satellites. The younger members of that team plan the ultimate honey pot to trap their nemesis who is driving their global dominance agenda. The odds are against R-Group’s success, but they have creative surprises on their side.
The stakes have never been higher. R-Group young and old must rise to defeat MAG."
"How far will world powers go for military communications supremacy?
A military leak exposes Professor Su Lin to danger. Can R-Group leaders, Jacob and Petra, secure her nanotechnology and drone research in time?
Defense contractor, Keith Avery is tasked to assemble next-generation communications to support NATO Allies.
Recommending a visionary approach, he soon draws the attention of a terrorist group with traumatic results. Extremists, directed by a competing power, captures Avery to ruthlessly extract the technical solution.
The race is on, risks are high, competitors fierce!
To prove the technology, Lin creates a riddle for the R-Group to solve. As the clock runs down, everyone realizes —no one will go home if they fail. Will the R-Group with their supercomputer be enough? Find out in Book 3 The Enigma Ignite."
"The world is poised for replacing fiat currency by a superior
digital currency. Which one?
Global Bank wants to lead the race to blockchain adoption. Without inhouse expertise, Tonya is tasked to hire a cryptologist to design the cryptocurrency requirements.
Hack-and-slash digital swindlers, Matthias and Dutch, are jumping from country to country, peddling their crypto currency as an economic savior. Their next target is Venezuela. These pirates do coupon-clipping directly from your wallet.
Early cryptocurrency pioneer, Su Lin, formerly Master Po, is threatened by her past life. China expects to win the world’s digital reserve currency status.
Jacob, Petra, and Quip, R-Group experts, keep tabs on the charlatans and digital currency players to identity cyber good guys versus bad actors from the Darknet.
Can the R-Group maintain global economic balance in the 21st century cryptocurrency wars?"
"Darknet designer virus holds cities, power grids, banks, and NATO hostage!
R–Group’s talented Jacob, Petra, and Quip find fragments of an insidious code from different casualties. The race is on to assemble the digital pieces to identify the bad actors. Each incident shows the software virus maturing as well as offering new clues to the source.
How do you get ahead of a virus that taunts its victims as it learns?
As the deceptive code grows like a cancer, embedding itself across the cyber frontier, can a cure be developed? Or is this puzzle so dizzyingly complex that it cannot be solved by the R-Group!
Two shadowy figures, known as Callisto and Mephisto are testing their devastating Ghost Code on the digital landscape. Their identity, location, and ultimate agenda is unclear. The R-Group must find these predators.
Who’s to blame? Do we allow technology too much access to our lives? The benefits are compelling, but it exposes us to vulnerabilities with dramatic consequences.
Exploitation by greedy cyberthugs is only a click away."
"Cyberthugs want Big Data to dictate your destiny.
Mathematical genius, Gretchen, creates a formula to dynamically aggregate today’s events to accurately forecast tomorrow’s outcomes. She uses global resources to gather, correlate, and analyze vast amounts of data. The results identify ripples and patterns in the erratic river of human behavior. Her goal—to decide the future for mankind.
Leaders of the R-Group believe alarming events are engineered by multiple cyber weasels. One is adjusting oil and currency futures for their own ends. Another appears to use supercomputer predictions to destabilize Russian satellite nations. A technician at an Oak Ridge facility demonstrates an uncanny ability to play the stock market—until he turns up dead.
Jacob and Petra, with support from the cyber assassin technology solutions (CATS) team, are sent to neutralize these threats. A traitor lurks among the shadows of the CATS team bent on sabotage from within."
"The race is on to finish decoding the secret to a longer human life.
Xavier Pekoni, a rich evil scientist, is working on his Fountain of Youth project. Using a supercomputer to unravel the last DNA mapping needed, he is desperately close to extending life ten-fold. This has driven him to extreme research methods on humans.
The R-Group is called in by government agencies to locate Pekoni, verify his unethical practices, and stop him at all costs but two key members of the team have lost their way emotionally and are missing.
Jacob, distancing himself from the R-Group due to personal demons, becomes unwittingly entangled with Zara, the villainous femme fatale leader of the Dteam, Darknet hackers.
Will he inadvertently provide the missing code sequence to steal personal data from health records all over the world that are needed to drive Pekoni’s scheme?
Pekoni’s henchmen grab the key person in this drama needed for her part of the illegal research. Can the R-Group penetrate Pekoni's laboratory and rescue her? What happens if they fail?
Missing their two top people, the feisty EZ and Quip, along with ICABOD, face off against an evil force seeking to harness additional technology to achieve Pekoni's agenda.
Award-winning authors Breakfield and Burkey take readers on an accelerated adventure with old and new characters to tell the tale of human DNA changes gone wrong."
