Zero Day: China's Cyber Wars is a timely addition to the suspense Spy Literature genre. With cyberterrorism on everyone's minds, this fictional account of China's efforts to marginalize the U.S. economy through persistent cyberattacks, culminating in a debilitating zero day attack against critical financial infrastructure, will have readers racing to change their passwords and update their security settings.
This is the third installment of the Logan Alexander espionage series, pitting CIA officer, Alexander against a cast of international villains bent on destroying the U.S. Alexander and his brave band of Special Forces operators are there to save the day. KIRKUS Reviews says, "The plot races at breakneck speed and artfully combines grand geopolitical drama with political plausibility. There is no shortage of bureaucratic and technological complexity, and readers looking for a breezy adventure story might find the details daunting. But Williams has produced a believable, timely tale brimming with cinematic power. A skillfully rendered account of superpowers locked in covert war."
Zero Day won the 2017 Florida Authors and Publishers gold President's award for adult fiction, and is a finalist in the Royal Palm Literary Awards Competition. Williams and his wife Carol make their home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where he is busy working on his fourth book.
