<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><strong>A <em>New York Times</em> Bestseller.</strong> "If you think cybercrime and potential worldwide banking meltdown is a fiction, read this sensational thriller."--Bob Woodward, <em>Politico</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Graham Weber has been the director of the CIA for less than a week when a Swiss kid in a dirty T-shirt walks into the American consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he has a list of agents' names to prove it. This is the moment a CIA director most dreads. Like the new world of cyber-espionage from which it's drawn, <em>The Director</em> is a maze of double dealing, about a world where everything is written in zeroes and ones--and nothing can be trusted.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A savvy, engaging tale in which the technology and tradecraft are as interesting as the characters.-- "Wall Street Journal"<br><br>An entertaining, high-tech ride, full of...pyrotechnics and more substantial pleasures.--Michiko Kakutani "New York Times"<br><br>Another brilliant thriller from the Dean of International Intrigue.

Here's your chance to see inside the CIA.
