Cyberclipper 2

In this novel a couple of cyber computer gurus, Andy and Lori, apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create a computer worm virus capable of stopping all operations in a network. Routines generated by a supercomputer defeat any attempt to patch the systems.

A newly elected president, Graham Wilson, seizes the opportunity to apply the technology to thwart the Chinese takeover of America. The worm is released on a secret mission from South Korea. The mission, called Operation Bald Eagle, utilizes the Red Box antigravity device to build a giant Aquaclipper to launch hypersonic stealth missiles to deliver the worm to China’s military, particularly their nuclear arsenal. Two missions force the Chinese into negotiations to halt their half-century campaign to replace the democracy with Communism.

For their contribution to America’s rebirth, the couple receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Because of the codes each possesses in memory, they must travel on separate aircraft. The book ends with the couple joining a novel cyber community in Bermuda called SAVOIR. In the end, it becomes quite clear that somebody’s watching over the couple and the Republic.
