Well the CYBERWAR Book Trailer is making a huge splash! It follows one of the main characters in his first depicted mission. The R.J. Huneke thriller will soon to be released by Pentian Publishing here and you can preorder it or even become a character in the book! Read the CYBERWAR excerpt here: It all went to hell when the world’s greatest cyber warriors chose to wage war for themselves and not on behalf of the politicians that hired them. Hackers, they used to be called. Somehow the term for “one who hacks a computer” was deemed offensive during the Occupancy War and subsequently placed on the Banned Vocabulary List. Many decades earlier, at the end of the twentieth century, cyber warriors were defined simply: cyber-warrior noun 1. Cyber-warrior is a person who engages in cyberwarfare for personal reasons or out of political or religious belief. 2. A spy that can infiltrate the highest levels of security 3. Cyber-warriors wage war using information technology and may attack computers or information systems through hacking or defending them from their counterparts. ___________________________________________________ There was an overlong shadow just outside of the Devil’s Shed. The facility’s alias was local folklore; the graying storage container’s door had what looked like two demonic horns of rust near the top. No one in town knew its real purpose. William Waltz squatted just below the enormous demonization and waited patiently. His face was covered in grease to eliminate any glare that the rain might make on his skin; this was nothing unfamiliar to him, as his father had a career as a bike mechanic and in his short life had shown ‘skinny William’ the value of getting dirty when it served a purpose. Thirty years of grit had made him a world-class locksmith. The code magnet had to pull enough of a reusable ocular scan from memory to fool the door’s access scanner. The lock’s subterfuge, a functioning power switch box, hung open from hinges. The box’s red handle remained in the “Off” position as a decoy. Waltz held the B9 scatter pistol as though it was glued to his right hand, and he stood utterly still. In the sweeping rain, the only streetlamp was a good fifty yards away, and though the glint of its light could be seen in the drops that clung to the silenced black barrel, he was effectively invisible if he did not move. Twenty minutes had already passed this way. The customized code magnet would infiltrate the scanner’s memory sometime within twenty-five. Come on already. I really have to take a leak, he thought wryly. Sitting still was not one of his favorite tasks... Cyberwar Book Trailer from Gabriel Siegal on Vimeo.
