Electromagnetic Assault
They thought no one would survive. They were wrong.
Five years ago, a high-stakes rescue mission at a Chinese military base turned into a massacre. Navy Special Ops pilot Jazmin Hassani lost her SEAL team in a burst of electromagnetic energy — a live-fire test of a top-secret directed-energy weapon. Horrifically injured, she was never expected to live.
Today, a new strike, this time on American soil — silent, invisible, and devastating. Governments would kill to possess this weapon — or to keep it hidden.
As the military investigator assigned to the case, Jazmin is driven to uncover the truth. She’s forced underground when a powerful US Senator stops the investigation and the Defense Intelligence Agency denies the weapon’s existence.
Defying orders, she partners with a rogue Cyber Command operative to expose the culprits behind the weapon. Hunted by elite operatives and betrayed by her own government, Jazmin is on the run, armed only with her training, her instincts — and a promise of retribution.
The tech is unstoppable. But so is she.

“Landay’s meticulous detail gives the story a gritty, realistic feel, as the weaponry and technology spring from what scientists are already creating for near-future use.”
