While constructing bridges and highways, J. Luke Bennecke secretly plotted high-octane thrillers that became instant bestsellers. But his adventures didn't end there. As a licensed real estate broker and general contractor, he built homes with the precision of a ninja, all while jetting off to exotic destinations, voiceover acting, and giving back to the community via annual high school scholarships. Living in the shadows of Southern California with his wife and three spunky cats, Bennecke's next daring escapade is always just around the corner.

Behind the assassination stands Tracy Ciacchella, a brilliant and ruthless leader of a shadowy global cabal known only as New3-a powerful alliance determined to accelerate the collapse of American dominance. Their plan is chilling in its simplicity: eliminate the president, cripple the nation's power grid, and plunge the United States into darkness long enough for rival superpowers to seize the advantage. Civil engineer Jake Bendel never expected to find himself on the front lines of that war. As one of the architects of America's revolutionary AI-driven energy grid, he helped design the very system now being weaponized against his country. When cascading blackouts sweep across the nation and martial law looms, Jake teams up with FBI agent Kristi Konnors to track the network orchestrating the attacks. What they uncover is far more dangerous than a cyberattack-an international conspiracy positioned to hand America's collapse to China and Russia.
