“Tata has taken elements of the world’s political stage and mixed them brilliantly with a virtual treatise on cybersecurity. Throw in a charismatic villain steering the game, and you have all the elements in place for a classic, high-adventure technothriller. The open-ended conclusion will leave readers hanging, but that will only make them wish that Tata could please write faster. This is the best thriller yet by the former brigadier general.” —
Booklist STARRED REVIEW on Dark Winter
“Rousing…. Tata excels at jet-fueled action and scenes in which the principals discuss fascinating global war strategy.” —Publishers Weekly on Dark Winter
“Responding to a U.S. military computer-system failure, an elite group of American operatives must prevent pending nuclear strikes. Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Tata (Direct Fire, 2017, etc.) brings back Jake Mahegan for another realistic, high-stakes military adventure. …the narrative is believable, and the main characters… get into copious amounts of action. A very readable and contemporary military action story. “ —Kirkus Reviews on Dark Winter
"If you are a fan of military thrillers who likes the action peppered with authentic weapons details like the proper model of Apache helicopter in use or the muzzle velocity of an AK-47 aimed at the hero and his lady, there’s a new cliff-hanging dystopian tale you’ll want to put on your “to read” list. Retired General Anthony J. Tata is back with a new challenge for his hunky hero Jake Mahegan. This time, Mehegan is up against a Messianic supervillain who is also a super billionaire. A self-taught coder who’s forgotten more about hacking than most experts know, he wants the messy world to adopt his vision for a more orderly existence. His plan: a few massive nuclear explosions here and there to get people’s attention as he emerges as their savior. If you got scared by all the stories about Russian hacking of U.S. elections, Tata lays out the ultimate hacking threat: enemy control of nuclear weapons systems. No breathing room here for those who might want to pause the page turning to get some sleep. You won’t know how things come out until the very last sentence and won’t be satisfied till you get there."
—Patrick Oster, author of “The Hacker Chronicles,” a cyber thriller on Dark Winter
