Ghost Fleet

Ghost Fleet is a page-turning imagining of a war set in the not-too-distant future. Navy captains battle through a modern-day Pearl Harbour; fighter pilots duel with stealthy drones; teenage hackers fight in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley billionaires mobilise for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta.

A novel that reads like science fiction but bristles with rich detail about how the next World War could be fought." Vice "A modern-day successor to tomes such as The Hunt for Red October from the late Tom Clancy." - USA Today What Will World War III Look Like?

Description

The United States, China, and Russia eye each other across a twenty-first century version of the Cold War, which suddenly heats up at sea, on land, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace. The fighting involves everything from stealthy robotic drone strikes to old warships from the navy's "ghost fleet."

Fighter pilots unleash a Pearl Harbor-style attack; American veterans become low-tech insurgents; teenage hackers battle in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley billionaires mobilise for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta. Ultimately, victory will depend on blending the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future.

Ghost Fleet is a page-turning speculative thriller in the spirit of The Hunt for Red October. The debut novel by two leading experts on the cutting edge of national security, it is unique in that every trend and technology featured in the novel—no matter how sci-fi it may seem—is real, or could be soon.

AUTHOR: P. W. Singer is an expert on twenty-first-century warfare. His award-winning non-fiction books include New York Times bestseller Wired for War. August Cole is a writer and analyst specialising in national security issues, and a former defence industry reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

"I couldn't put this one down. Reads like the very best of classic Tom Clancy, updated for the 21st century, persuasive in its detail, simultaneously thrilling and terrifying." - Phillip Meyer, author of The Son

"Ghost Fleet is a page-turner filled with thrills and chills, but it is also more than that. Drawn from real-world trends in cyber tech, intelligence, and defence, it offers a haunting glimpse into our future that you'll find hard to forget." - Nina Jacobson, Producer of The Hunger Games
