The Entity - 9781478197621

From 24 to 28 January 2000, the NSA supercomputer failed. What happened was only the beginning . . . On 30 January, under the heading 'NSA System Inoperative for Four Days', Walter Pinkus wrote the following in the 'Washington Post': "From the evening of 24 January through early 28 January 2000, 'the main computers of the National Security Agency failed, causing an unprecedented blackout of information, ' officials said on 29 January". The cause of this mysterious event has never been revealed. What may have happened during these four days forms the genesis for this thriller. An 86-year-old scientist is brutally murdered in Plattsburgh, NY. During the investigation, FBI Agent Young asks the obvious question: What was it that he knew that was so important? Agent Young meets with a retired scientist who is in hiding. He is the sole survivor of the team of four scientists who worked on a top secret military project. One question remains unanswered: Why is their project so heavily classified that no one in the FBI or NSA can learn the nature of their work more than forty years later? 'The Entity' is a highly original techno-thriller. The fast-paced action takes the story to Paris, London, Sicily, Washington DC, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and the deserts of New Mexico and Nevada.
