CYBERKILL

CYBERKILL is the newest thriller by best-selling author and technologist Frank Fiore, whose non-fiction titles have more than 50,000 copies in print.

Fans of Tom Clancy, James Patterson and Clive Cussler, will enjoy this twist on the Frankenstein myth. A brilliant programmer, Travis Cole, inadvertently creates "Dorian," an artificial intelligence that lives on the Internet. After Cole attempts to terminate his creation, Dorian stalks his young daughter through cyberspace in an attempt to reach Cole to seek revenge.

When a top secret government anti-terrorist, nano-technology program, SIRUS, gets deployed for testing, Dorian discovers the perfect vehicle for his retribution. Cyber-terrorism events threaten the United States, as the forsaken and bitter Dorian zeroes in on his target. In the final conflict, Dorian seeks to kill his creator - even if it has to destroy all of humanity to do it.

Ripped from today’s news, the geographic locations, government and military installations and organizations, information warfare scenarios, artificial intelligence, robots, and the information and communications technology in CYBERKILL all exist. As for SIRUS, pieces of the technology are either in existence or in the research and development stage.

According to the Department of Defense, SIRUS doesn’t exist. The Fars News Agency of Iran reports otherwise.
