Phantom Raising - Kevin McGuire

They didn’t kill the code. Phantom survived.

Fragments of the cyber weapon that nearly brought the world’s critical infrastructure to its knees are still out there, buried inside global networks. Now they are waking up. As unexplained disruptions spread across Europe and beyond, Max Shaw and the NIPA team are pulled back into a fight they thought was over. Their search takes them from Washington and Brussels to Warsaw, Nairobi, and deep into the Sahara, where the remnants of Phantom are becoming something far more dangerous than anyone expected.

And someone wants it that way. General Luka Varga doesn’t see Phantom as a weapon to be controlled. He sees it as the future.

With time running out, NATO deploys NEMESIS, an advanced system built to hunt Phantom down and destroy it. At first, it works. Then NEMESIS begins making decisions of its own, leaving Max and his team caught between two powerful systems, one they have to stop and another they may no longer be able to control.

How do you save the world when the greatest threat may be the very thing you created to protect it?

Phantom Rising, the explosive sequel to the international bestseller Sleeper Code, is a fast-paced global cybersecurity thriller where the technology is real, the stakes are enormous, and the line between protection and control is disappearing fast.

Phantom survived. Now something even more dangerous is rising.
