A reunion on the Pacific coast. A partnership at the top of the Silicon Cartel beginning to break. An alliance no DEA agent was ever supposed to make.

The desert is behind them. Agent Isaac Reyes and the team that survived Arizona watch the monitoring patterns escalate from a compound above Hollister Ranch. The dead man’s switch holds. The Silicon Cartel has gone quiet.

Until it doesn’t.

Something is moving through channels no agency is supposed to see. Something the country’s oldest warning systems were designed to prevent. And the only way to stop it is to cross a line Reyes never thought he could.

From a cartel summit at Hearst Castle to the blast doors of NORAD to a buried facility beneath the Colorado high desert, Silicon Cartel drives the conspiracy that began in the Sonoran toward its continental reckoning. Reyes gave up his badge to find the truth. He’ll give up more than that to survive it.

Silicon Cartel is the second novel in the Isaac Reyes Trilogy—a techno-thriller for readers of Daniel Suarez, Don Winslow, and Michael Crichton.
