Publisher's Summary

When a scientist at the world’s top AI company is murdered, a covert CIA operative must recruit a former love interest to help uncover the killer.

Nations and corporations alike are racing to dominate the world’s artificial intelligence industry...by whatever means necessary.

With its genius CEO and breakthrough technology, the Silicon Valley-based Pax AI Corporation is one of the hottest companies in the sector. But when one of Pax AI’s top scientists is murdered at a prestigious tech conference, company executives and foreign spies are all on the suspect list.

In the aftermath of the killing, CIA officer Colt McShane has been assigned to a joint counterintelligence unit based in San Francisco. The unit’s leadership believes that an international espionage ring has been stealing classified technology from Pax AI.

Now they want Colt to use his past relationship with Pax AI executive Ava Klein to penetrate the company’s inner circle, and uncover the mole. But as Colt learns more about Pax AI’s classified programs, he discovers just how powerful - and dangerous - their new technology can be. As the struggle for AI dominance grows ever more competitive, the factions vying for power are becoming desperate to achieve victory.

In the fight for absolute power, there can be only one winner. Everyone involved has their own spies and secrets.

Whose spy will win? And what secrets will they reveal?

Disappoinitng ending

Overall a reasonable story but let down by a very weak ending. Feel like its setting up for a sequel that I wont be listening to

Good cyber counter espionage story

Andrew Watts novels always keep me listening they keep a good pace and are always interesting and this audiobook Firewall is no different.

Have some spare time ready this will keep your attention and though the narration while not my favorite it is good enough to not distract from the story.

Good book

Good spy type story, a few holes; however good. Did not like narration. PG rated so good.

Another OUTSTANDING book by Watts

This is the ninth book by Watts that I’ve read (War Planner series and Max Fend 1&2). Firewall is a continuation of my opinion of Watts as a first rate writer of this genre. I highly recommend this book.
