A dark web hacker confronting his conscience.
A failed intelligence officer in search of redemption.

JUST OUTSIDE OMAHA, NEBRASKA,
the relative calm at Offutt Air Force Base
is suddenly shattered when commercial
Flight 209 crashes down onto its runway.
Major Tamika Smith must try to rescue survivors From the flaming wreckage and try to make sense of the tragedy. But this was no
accident. In a time of national unrest and
division, a shadowy mastermind is tearing

With heart-pounding action, compelling
plot twists, and a rich tapestry of
characters, The Wilkes Insurrection is a
contemporary thriller of anarchic obsession
and heroic ambition. Its perfect
blend of callous villains, complex but
captivating protagonists, and political
intrigue will keep readers on the edge of
their seats.
