About this ebook

Our dependence on the Internet literally comes back to haunt us in this gripping thriller in the Life Online series.

What if your last text triggered the next world war?

In the near future, the dead live on as virtual holograms interacting with humans through an omnipresent cyber Network. In Washington, DC, heartbroken U.S. President Arturo Solar is recklessly communicating with an illegal copy of his dead daughter's digital conscience.

But his mourning is shattered when terrifying, undetectable drones appear all over the world and in outer space. Global militaries are left defense-less against the advanced machines capable of targeting and disarming any perceived threat.

But where did the drones come from? And who is in control?

To his shock, President Solar realizes a connection no one else can see, and scrambles to rally the world's last known thinkers to save the world from inevitable war.

Kade Laltanca, the brilliant, beautiful, no-nonsense Commander of UN Special Command, is called back to DC to find and fix an inconceivable cyber conflict. Kade rallies a global team of technologists, intelligence agents and diplomats to search the world for clues to stopping the cyber glitch.

But without the help of rogue technologists, their greatest enemies and biggest rivals, global law enforcement may stand no chance on their own.

The team must risk the entire infrastructure of global cybersecurity to align with rogue techs and their unpredictable friends in the battle for humanity's survival. Criss-crossing the world from the Amazon rainforest to the heat of Cape Canaveral and the bitter winter cold in Moscow, The Unbroken Line is a thrilling future fiction international adventure from earth to outer space.

This is Book 2 in the unprecedented Life Online speculative science fiction thriller series about our battle to survive in the world we are now creating as we come to grips with the disturbing consequence of humanity's dependence on programmed machines, and the visionary benefits of the technology.

Each Life Online book can be read independently.
