Domestic Violence

A town erased. A nation under attack. And the one person sent to find the truth may be the only one who sees how far it goes.

When a rail accident destroys Agnew, a small farming community in south-central Texas, it becomes the worst rail disaster in the nation's history. The President turns to one person to find out who is responsible: cybersecurity expert Mike Paxton.

But Agnew is only the beginning. As more weapons of mass destruction strike across the country, transportation, manufacturing, major ports, agriculture and the oil industry collapse, and survivors face near-apocalyptic conditions.

Working with an international group of skilled hackers who have come to trust him, and using an unlikely ally, honeybees, to help locate storage lockers that may have served as explosive depots, Mike races to answer one question: are the attacks the real plan, or a distraction that lets something far larger move forward, unopposed by the U.S. military?
