The Chinese Conspiracy

"Not since The Manchurian Candidate have I read such a compelling thriller about global conspiracy. But Mariotti goes much further, linking his masterfully fast-paced narrative to the clear and present danger of total cyberwar. This novel is a call to action that our society must answer now."

--Richard S. Levick, President and CEO, Levick' Strategic Communications, author of The Communicators: Leadership in the Age of Crisis.

"The Chinese Conspiracy has the intrigue of John Grisham, the spice of Mickey Spillane and the technical aspects of Tom Clancy." --Tom Quinn

"A fascinating book that gives the reader a glimpse into warfare of the future. The outcome of future wars will be determined far in advance of the actual conflict. This is but a preview of things to come."

--Paul Broadbent, Former Sr. CIA/Defense Intelligence Program Manager

"America is at war and the latest front is the war on cyber terrorism....U.S. computer networks are under constant cyber attacks, by direct assaults by remote sites, by probes by hackers and criminal networks, and by espionage from foreign countries."

---Jon Stout, CEO, Aspiration Software LLC

"This chilling new novel links the world's increasing dependency on the internet to vulnerabilities that can be exploited for evil."

---Calvin Myer, Co-founder Worldwide Ltd.

"This is fascinating and concerning story - nation-state terrorists using known technologies as "Weapons of Mass Disruption." I'm concerned that it is actually possible, and hope it can be prevented."

--Ed Straw, Vice Admiral, USN Retired

"If you can read only one exciting novel this year, this is the one to read. It is so realistically possible it's scary."

---Bo Dietl, Retired NYPD Homicide Detective, & One Tough Cop
