Wired for Destruction

Choices: suicide or save thousands of other lives. Sounds like a no-brainer but neither choice will change Lincoln Barnes' life significantly. Not as he sees it. His business has failed, his wife left him for another man, and he's now living off the kindness of others. Life is not at all what he had planned for middle-age. That's not easy to swallow, which means that suicide is definitely on the table. While contemplating his options, Lincoln peers across the bay and sees a suspicious glimmer of light flashing in the moonlight near the naval base which harbors huge payloads of explosives-bombs, torpedoes, nuclear weapons-that could cause the whole town to blow up if ignited. With little to lose, he borrows a kayak and paddles out to see what the glimmer might be and is spotted by several shady looking characters. What are those people doing there? Why do they stalk him afterward? How is his wife's new husband involved? Things become more complicated once he begins to do research. A missing spouse, a murdered sailor, a demoted captain, an ex-client, and a low-orbit satellite are parts to a puzzle that could destroy a community and everyone in it.
