Overview
Stephanie Borden never expected her life to be entangled with the CIA. But after a deadly act she believed was a justified response to an existential threat, she now finds herself bound by an unofficial agreement to lend the agency her unique expertise. Her latest assignment, however, has turned into her worst nightmare.Taken hostage alongside a team of elite AI scientists, Stephanie becomes a pawn in a dangerous three-way power struggle between global superpowers. Forced into the role of negotiator with only a fragile connection to her CIA handler, William Stinson, she must navigate treacherous waters. One adversary seeks to corrupt the highest levels of the U.S. government, exploiting vulnerabilities to infiltrate the heart of America's security systems. Another, a long-standing enemy, offers a tenuous alliance-but can they be trusted?Artificial Hydra exposes the dark underbelly of today's technology and the lengths some will go to exploit it. As the lines between diplomacy, tradecraft, and survival blur, Stephanie races against time to outmaneuver enemies on every front. With the fate of the nation hanging in the balance, and every major intelligence agency in the world out to stop her, failure isn't an option-but neither is survival guaranteed.
