Die By Wire: Truth or Fiction?
(Yes.)
When guardian sniper Mira Longbow arrives in Amsterdam
to take out the head of a global child-smuggling ring, she quickly stumbles
across a diabolically creative, high-tech jihad that will bring the West to its
knees.
Problem is, she also crosses paths with Jackson Day, an unexpected visitor, and
would-be lover from her turbulent past in Iraq.
Day is a deadly effective loner assigned to the Army's Asymmetric Warfare
Command whose motto (and his) is "Never Fight Fair."
So, when Day shows up to enlist her gift for languages to decipher a tangle of
voices recorded of a high-level terror meeting at a remote Iranian safe house,
she wants nothing to do with him or his distractions from her mission.
But, after the heat of their first encounter, they put aside their simmering
differences when it's clear that Khan Nasiri -- the same wealthy shipping
tycoon behind the child bride smuggling operation -- is a terror mastermind who
has discovered that every modern fly-by-wire passenger aircraft is a disaster
waiting to fall out of the sky.
And Nasiri intends to demonstrate to the world just how easily fly-by-wire can
become die-by-wire. Cyber-jihad everywhere, anywhere. Death on demand.
The countdown begins.
And they are the only two people on the planet who can stop it in time.
Die By Wire -- inspired by the real-life story of women snipers who protect
innocents in war-torn regions -- brings together a heart-thumping, clock-racing
thriller that also tells the shocking true story of the global exploitation of
young girls whose plight has been excused by worldwide law enforcement as an
acceptable cultural practice.
And like Daughter of God (and most of Lew's other thrillers)
Die By Wire has a deeper spiritual side of it as Mira struggles with the nature
and existence of evil and what it means for her faith. Through the intense
action of the thriller, she tries to reconcile the following: If God is all
powerful and merciful, why is evil allowed to exist?
