What if the mass killings in the news had been prevented? In this thriller, hate-crime survivor Sophia Borghese leads The Hyperion Network, a private intelligence agency created to do just that. Hyperion employs cutting-edge technology envied by the NSA and field agents trained by the world’s best spy agencies. Hyperion has uncovered a white nationalist threat called The First Cull—a day of carnage in three countries to jump start race wars. The police and security bureaucracies consider the threat “aspirational.” Sophia and her teams race against the clock to stop the charismatic engineering genius behind the plot and save thousands of innocent lives.
This is not my usual genre of books, but this spy novel has it all - great characters, interesting plot development, some things to keep you guessing throughout the story, and great writing. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend!
I was eagerly awaiting the release of "The Hyperion Network," and I loved reading it. The characters are well-developed, the story is engaging, and the suspense is real.
Laura and I worked together for many years, and I had the honor of reviewing some of the early drafts of this work. I could not be happier with how the book turned out.
This was a fast paced read which was very illuminating as far as the use of big data and technology to identify actual terrorist threats. The back story and character development of the ace operative, Sophia, reminded me of that legendary fictional operative Gabriel Allon. Some of the dialogue was stilted but this is a debut novel and I am sure this will improve with experience. Great read - I hope we see more of Sophia.
