This novel is set at the peak of the Cold War and begins when two rogue FBI agents make an error in judgment. They catch the nation’s #1 computer hacker and decide to rough him up to intimidate him into quitting his “hobby.” Percy Marsh is not easily intimidated because what no government agency knows is that he has the ability to shut down the entirety of America’s communication systems. Coldly seeking revenge for his abuse, Marsh enlists the aid of a phone phreaking associate known as The Kraut. What he doesn’t know is that Viktor Lubov is a long-term Soviet “sleeper,” an agent-in-place seeking a chance to strike. Marsh provides that opportunity with his communication shutdown, and soon Lubov is planning to circumvent Marsh’s plan with a far more deadly plan of his own. He will tell his handlers in Moscow that America will soon be helpless to counterstrike after an all-out nuclear first strike. All he has to do is relay that message in the approved fashion: through a Soviet submarine playing cat-and-mouse with an American sub prowling off the California coastline. World War III is just a shutdown away!
