One Finger on the World
Hacking Trumps a Bullet to the Head
Mark Malone just wants to finish high school so he can get into a good college, win a few hockey games, and complete his internship at the University of Virginia’s computing center. But when he is coerced into helping a Russian crime syndicate foment their plan to flood the market with a lethal new drug, his prospects for an uncomplicated future quickly vanish.
Meanwhile in California, MIT dropout and unrepentant hacker, Lin Pace, happens upon the intricate plot. His early optimism that the new medicine could help his ailing mother is soon dashed when, after stealing Mark’s identity to gain access to proprietary files, he discovers the drug’s hidden deadliness. Their virtual relationship becomes decidedly real when Lin races across the country to help a now-addicted Mark combat those who would profit from the drug’s exploitation. As their initial alliance deepens, they must put their faith in Lin’s hacking skills and Mark’s passion for the truth to combat the mob and build a future together.

Anything That Moves
The Conscience of a Radical
Jamie Breedlove is exceptionally skilled at one thing—shooting a rifle. As part of President Johnson’s effort to fortify U.S. troops in Vietnam, Jamie enlists, hoping to make the Army his career. His marksmanship lands him in sniper school, followed by his selection to serve in an exclusive and dangerous, newly-formed group of intelligence scouts known as Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols (LRRPs), today’s Army Rangers. Injured and disillusioned, Jamie is discharged into a country he doesn’t recognize, upended by radical social change and torn apart by protests and violent insurrection. It’s 1969.
Seeking young informants to infiltrate the most militant elements of the anti-war movement, Hoover’s FBI recruits Jamie as a potent weapon of its own. He finds himself in a war once again, this time on the campus of the University of Michigan where the FBI has enrolled him as a student. Caught between loyalty to his country and his growing identification with the anti-war movement, Jamie finds himself straddling a troublesome line between conscience and duty. In a final act of defiance, he becomes the tip of the sword in a plot that forces him to finally choose sides and embrace what he truly values.
