Enter Garrett Reilly, a tech-savvy Wall Street bond trader with a particular knack for spotting mathematical patterns, who reluctantly agrees to head the military’s top-secret Ascendent program, “to prosecute a stealth war against the Chinese.” Despite the grumbles of old-line generals, Reilly harnesses a group of energy-drink-swilling cyber nerds, not only to outmaneuver Beijing but to try to topple the Communist Party leadership. With China on the move-using a variety of Internet techniques to cripple the American economy-the Pentagon figures it needs someone who’s not shackled by the strategic thinking of previous generations to lead a counterattack. Warfare goes digital in movie and TV writer Chapman’s fast-moving debut, a high-stakes thriller that pits the online might of China against that of the United States.
