A Frank Adversego Thriller Series

America is rushing headlong into another election, but something is wrong – preposterous candidates  jump to the top of the polls while credible candidates fall behind. Cybersecurity super sleuth Frank Adversego must find the Black Hats trying to hack the presidential election, and stop them before they do. In this second Frank Adversego thriller, you'll meet a scheming Native American casino manager, a scrum of presidential candidates too incredible to be believed anywhere outside of a real American election, a former Secretary of Defense who will stop at nothing, and an attractive French hitchhiker that Adversego rescues in the middle of a desert, and soon wishes he hadn't. The Lafayette Campaign provides a satirical take on American politics and our infatuation with technology that will make readers pause and wonder: could this really happen? Or perhaps it's happened already. "Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing.

Advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics are accelerating, and killer robots loom on the horizon. Like the atomic bomb, warbots raise moral dilemmas for their creators. And also new fears, because they might go rogue and attack civilians - or even their own makers. In the Argus Affair, U.S. president Henry Dodge Yazzi confronts the challenge head on, recruiting cybersecurity expert Frank Adversego to help avert an arms race with the Chinese that could have catastrophic results. But unknown to all, another force to be reckoned with has plans of its own.   Soon, most of the world's leading artificial intelligence and robotics experts find themselves in a dire situation that none could have imagined and perhaps no one can control.   "Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing.

Cybersecurity super-sleuth Frank Adversego finds himself trapped in a power play between the FBI and the CIA as the nation teeters on the brink of nuclear annihilation. Only by defeating the Alexandria Project can he clear himself. "One of the best action thrillers I've read in years!" "THE ALEXANDRIA PROJECT is fiction that cuts close to the bone. But where George Orwell envisioned 1984 from the safety of thirty-five years out, the future that Updegrove describes may already be upon us. That's what makes it dangerous, and that's what makes THE ALEXANDRIA PROJECT an important as well as riveting read."  - Dan Geer, CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER, In-Q-Tel
