The Shadow Warriors is a genre-busting novel of suspense, incorporating international locales (Singapore, Hong Kong, Boston, Brussels and Germany), technology (software agents) and the derring-do at a German university. The story is framed by an outbreak of information warfare. Emma Lee Davis, a web security consultant, must dredge up a painful summer in her past to discover a means to end the info-war that has disrupted civilization.

The Coming Cyber Wars
Today's Boston Globe has an interest op-ed page about cyber warfare and what the U.S. government admits and does not admit. All the gurus on this topic agree that the cyber war will be a "when" not an "if" scenario, and of course industry is lagging behind any meaningful readiness. As a result, the government may have to intervene to keep electric grids and the whole infrastructure safe(r).
Most people are unaware of this whole concept. Scary, really. If you want to read about the kind of war I'm talking about in an earlier time, a "what might have been" scenario, it's just as frightening today as it was for the fictional participants then. And just as puzzling. Who knew? And today? Who is ready? Maybe the U.S. government, perhaps other governments, and perhaps no one is really ready. Read about it here…

Infowar Monitor
There are quite a few information web sites that cover Info war. Here is another one. Infowar Monitor
I began writing about Information Warfare almost sixteen years ago, after a trip to Singapore. The International Computer Security Conference used to be held there at Raffles Center. The book rose like a genii from the trip. Who knew?

Another cool information warfare site!

The revolutions in the Middle East are also being fought on the net, Facebook and even Twitter. In fact a Tweeter observed the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound, wondering WTF?
The Syrians, as one might expect, have tried to usurp cyberspace for the own devious aims. See the above link.
