Hyperion Network

What if the mass killings in the news had been prevented? In this thriller, hate-crime survivor Sophia Borghese leads The Hyperion Network, a private intelligence agency created to do just that. Hyperion employs cutting-edge technology envied by the NSA and field agents trained by the world’s best spy agencies. Hyperion has uncovered a white nationalist threat called The First Cull—a day of carnage in three countries to jump start race wars. The police and security bureaucracies consider the threat “aspirational.” Sophia and her teams race against the clock to stop the charismatic engineering genius behind the plot and save thousands of innocent lives.

"Electric with suspense... Smart, intriguing, and unforgettable."
— Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins
