Resumen del Editor

SOF intelligence assets are dying. Operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan have been compromised. Sue O’Connell and her teammates have to find the leak and find it fast.

The hunt for the cyber hackers takes the SOF contingent to Turkey, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan. Back at home, Sue’s brother in the BBI finds himself stuck on a similar problem as adversaries in the US are using cyber operations to steal Pentagon secrets. Even Sue’s mother, retired CIA case officer Barbara O’Connell, faces a cyber challenge. And every time they defeat one cyber threat, another is uncovered.

In The Silicon Addiction, the complex world of cyber operations is in full display. Hunting terrorists on the battlefield is one thing; hunting cyber villains who can be in any place, at any time, is another.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In The Silicon Addiction, retired 82nd Airborne paratrooper and CIA officer JR Seeger delivers another thrilling espionage adventure. This time, Special Forces Operator Sue O’Connell’s mission is to detect and neutralize a threat in cyberspace. From a source meeting in Dubai to a high-speed chase along Route 16 in New York and a gun fight in Tajikistan, Seeger demonstrates a sophisticated command of military special operations and spying tradecraft. O’Connell’s introspective discussion about 9/11 with her comrade in arms, 'Flash', demonstrates Seeger’s skill in entwining character development with a riveting plot best listened to in one sitting." (Dan Hoffman, retired member of the CIA Senior Intelligence Service and Fox News Media Contributor)

Great continuation of the series

The cyber element to this story is relevant and added a good way to continue with the series where the protagonists progress through their careers and life. Well done.

I feel I need to call out something I have been tracking through most of these books with the narrators pronunciation of certain places and things as she reads. At first, I thought it may have had a particular meaning or was included as a humorous way to hold the listeners attention which, it may be. But for those familiar with the same places and things, it is notable and worth pointing out. Not a criticism as much as a footnote. I still enjoy her work as much as the story itself.
