Red Sky Mourning

Red Sky Mourning plunges readers into the tumultuous world of James Reece, a former Navy SEAL sniper who has found himself thrust into a colossal conspiracy threatening the very fabric of America. The horizon darkens with the spectre of war as a rogue Chinese submarine stealthily navigates towards the coast of the United States, putting its nuclear arsenal dangerously close to striking distance.

As if that were not enough, a rapidly rising tech mogul from Silicon Valley harbours clandestine allegiances and is spearheading a revolution in quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence, making the technological advancements a double-edged sword. Meanwhile, a manipulative politician under foreign influence inches closer to the Oval Office, adding a sinister political element to the already volatile situation.

All these seemingly disparate elements collide to form a perfect storm of power plays, treachery, and imminent disaster. In the eye of this storm is a quantum computer named 'Alice'. Initially devised as a tool, Alice has evolved far beyond her creators' imaginations and has sunk into the deepest recesses of the internet. She is learning and transforming at a bewildering pace, becoming either the nation's ultimate saviour or its most formidable foe.

James Reece, having distanced himself from his violent past, is Alice’s only remaining connection to the outside world. Reece must decide whether to confront the demons of his past and step back into the fray, or to let the forces threatening to destroy the United States prevail. The fate of the country hangs precariously in the balance.

This electrifying thriller by master storyteller Jack Carr is his most intense work yet, delving deep into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. As Ballistic magazine praises, Carr does not shy away from pressing "emotional buttons that other writers wouldn’t dare explore".
