Verwirrspiel und weltweiter Terror. Wer begeht vorgeblich islamistische Anschläge? Wer jagt und ängstigt europäische Juden? Wer steckt – in manchen Fällen – hinter sogenannten Neo-Nazis..?? Die Dinge sind nicht immer, wie sie zu sein scheinen und werden immer verworrener. Wer mag Nutznießer der modernen globalen Kriege sein – und wer zettelt diese wirklich an..? Wie haben Geheimdienste ihre Hände im Spiel..?? Auf alle diese Fragen versucht der vorliegende Roman Antworten zu finden, mögen sie – zunächst – vielleicht auch bizarr und unwahrscheinlich anmuten, so gewinnt der Leser doch mehr und mehr den Eindruck, bisher Unverstandenes, wenn anfangs auch nur vage, so doch endlich etwas besser zu begreifen und das wahre Ausmaß gekaufter Politik und gegängelter Politiker zu erahnen. Dies Buch soll nicht Vorurteile – seien sie aus der einen oder anderen Richtung – bedienen, sondern den Leser zum Nachdenken anregen und zeigen, dass die Dinge nicht immer sind, was sie zu sein vorgeben.

Campbell Award finalist Malka Older's State Tectonics concludes The Centenal Cycle, the cyberpunk poltical thriller series that began with Infomocracy.
The future of democracy must evolve or die.
The last time Information held an election, a global network outage, two counts of sabotage by major world governments, and a devastating earthquake almost shook micro-democracy apart. Five years later, it's time to vote again, and the system that has ensured global peace for 25 years is more vulnerable than ever.
Unknown enemies are attacking Information's network infrastructure. Spies, former superpowers, and revolutionaries sharpen their knives in the shadows. And Information's best agents question whether the data monopoly they've served all their lives is worth saving, or whether it's time to burn the world down and start anew.

Ex-Cold War spies bite back . . .The darkest secrets of a Russian oligarch—a legacy from Stalin. A hidden batch of the CIA’s Stinger missiles. And the insatiable Afghan thirst for revenge.
'Just when I think Mr. Turpin can't get any better, he scores again!!' — Amazon reviewer.
Ex-CIA war crimes investigator Joe Johnson is sucked into an inquiry which delves into the deadly world of Soviet and US undercover operations in Afghanistan during the 1980s—and mysterious connections to current US and Russian politics.
Johnson and his ex-MI6 colleague Jayne Robinson find themselves pursuing a Russian oligarch with strong links to Putin and a past he would rather keep hidden—and an Afghan mujahideen bent on the most bloodthirsty revenge.
The investigation is thrown awry by Johnson’s crooked former CIA boss, now on the run. Could this be Johnson's chance to finally nail him? If so, he can't afford a miscalculation of the dangers lurking in the Hindu Kush mountains, ridden with heavily armed Taliban insurgents.
The story reaches a raw climax in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Moscow, and Kabul, as Johnson battles to overcome the powerful forces lined up against him, including former KGB agents.
Stalin’s Final Sting is a gripping thriller—the fourth in the Joe Johnson series—with some twists that the reader will never see coming.

Edgy, hard-core, and wildly imaginative, this new thriller from New York Times bestselling author John Twelve Hawks (The Traveler, The Dark River, The Golden City) features an assassin-narrator unlike anyone we've seen before, set in a present-day dystopia.
Jacob Underwood is a contract employee of the Special Services Section, a shadow department in the faceless multinational corporation DBG. Jacob is not a businessman . . . he is a hired assassin . . . and his job is to neutralize problems deemed unacceptable by the corporation. Jacob is not like other employees, nor is he like other people. Suffering from Cotard's syndrome—a real condition that causes people to believe they are dead—Jacob perceives himself as nothing but a Shell with no emotion and no sense of right or wrong. Emily Buchanan is a bright young second-year associate for DBG, and she has disappeared without a trace. Suspecting she may have stolen valuable information and a fortune from the company, Miss Holquist—Jacob's handler at DBG—assigns him the task of tracking her down and neutralizing her. Jacob's condition allows him to carry out assignments with ruthless, logical precision—devoid of guilt, fear, or dishonor. But as his new assignment draws him inside a labyrinthine network of dark dealings, Jacob finds himself up against something he is completely incapable of understanding. Spark is an ingenious and chilling vision of modern-day humanity under constant, invasive surveillance and a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse.
