Snake Handlers

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Launch facilities for weapons of mass destruction on the Korean Peninsula must be destroyed before they can be used against the West by the North Korean military dictator and his Neo-Soviet allies, potentially escalating the fighting and forcing a break with the NATO alliance that could lead to massive retaliation and global war, a move which would play into the hands of expansionist militarists in the Kremlin. At the same time an AI threat looms, one created by the Pentagon itself in the form of SINDARELA, a super-intelligent cloud computer that has plans of its own which spell trouble for the entire human race. This is a thriller by David Alexander, author of Under Attack, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon, and other award-winning fiction and acclaimed nonfiction titles. High praise for David Alexander's authorship "Perhaps the best thriller of its type to have come along all year!" -- New York Times "Always the consummate prose stylist, David Alexander also speaks tech talk like no other. What's more, the tech specs are undoubtedly real, including those that pertain to ostensibly stolen or covertly obtained Russian and Chinese weapons that have been reverse-engineered by [US military technology development agency] DARPA. Alexander's security clearance is probably higher than the president's, and his knowledge of military systems better than any three members of the joint chiefs of staff." -- New York Newsday "Among the possible three finest thriller authors today, Alexander takes first place." -- USA Today "Here, as elsewhere, Alexander convincingly blends action, intrigue, adventure and startling glimpses behind the walls of the CIA, Oval Office and Pentagon that seem far too real to have been completely invented...throughout he shows off the masterful skills that have placed him high amid the ranks of the world's thriller authors." --London Times
