POTUS
About this ebook
David Alexander has penned the ultimate technothriller, a groundbreaking new vision that will set the trend for military action fiction for years to come. Alexander may be the first to credibly outline how why and when a crippling blow to cyberspace could be dealt by hybrid forces with destructive cascading impact on the United States in an unprecedented act of war.
The New York Times called POTUS by David Alexander "...perhaps the best thriller of its type to have come along all year!" USA Today applauded author David Alexander, declaring that "Among the possible three finest thriller authors today, Alexander easily takes first place."
POTUS is proof of Author David Alexander's uncanny ability to create riveting fiction that reads like a headline New York Times story. "It's as if Alexander has a crystal ball and uses it to sneak a peak at world-changing events before they happen, then write it as fiction."
In his award-winning novel, POTUS, where war again threatens America and sparks military retaliation, David Alexander proves his spectacular abilities once again. Here, US forces meet the new challenges posed by a hybrid terrorist nation state with advanced technology and special warfare operations.
Neither terrorists nor global criminals, this hybrid threat is planning a bold new series of strikes against high-priority military, civilian, government and commercial targets in the American homeland and around the world.
Yet there are a number of twists this time around. Many of these targets are unconventional focal points of attack, while the methods of attack themselves are totally unexpected, as are their intended consequences.
POTUS is a new page-turner by this widely acclaimed thriller author. It's full of surprises ... it is also a warning of what might happen tomorrow if America grows careless again. David Alexander -- dubbed "the best damn action writer in the business" -- has a gift for extrapolating tomorrow's history from today's events. Author David Alexander has demonstrated yet again that his genius for writing thrillers is getting better with every book he writes!

Alexander is an inveterate traveler and among the alumni of literary passengers to have boarded the Orient-Express; he has often used it as a basis for plot and reportage. Unlike the authors who have sold out, who are as interchangeable as cogs in a wheel, author David Alexander prefers to throw away the rule book whenever possible. Each new novel he pens must challenge him and must present a story told powerfully, yet freshly and originally. Each effort must compel him to deliver the best he has to offer.
