“CYBERKILL” is a novel written by Frank F. Fiore. The novel is a government conspiracy thriller which explores the combination of an ethnic bioweapon embedded in nanotechnology particles dispersed worldwide. The weapon is taken over by an artificial intelligence agent which forms the antagonist in the fictional account. CYBERKILL pulls heavily from current news and scientific studies. CYBERKILL is notable as one of a growing number of novels marketed by the use of a book teaser trailer , a browser game , and other social networking media. This approach is called transmedia storytelling and has been theoretically discussed since the early 1990's, although practical applications have changed significantly since the mid 2000's. Henry Jenkins is the leading theorist on transmedia storytelling. The novel is published by Trapdoor Books, an imprint of Trapdoor Publishing. Plot Summary The following description is from the publisher's website: Nanotechnology and genetic research have the power to transform the world into a Utopian paradise. In the high-tech world of modern warfare, they also have the power of unlimited, targeted destruction - sometimes with unintended consequences. Travis Cole is a brilliant programmer with a challenging career, a beautiful new girlfriend, and a loving daughter. He’s also a man with a secret and a deadly past that is catching up with him. When cyber-terrorism attacks threaten the United States, the nation is shocked by the actions of the Digitari Brotherhood and its insane leader Dorian. As the focus of the attacks begins to narrow, Travis realizes two horrifying truths - he is the target and his enemy is not human. Trapped within the clandestine operations of the top secret government SIRUS program, Travis must overcome his own demons to stop Dorian and protect his family and country. His enemy has no conscience, and his allies have their own agenda. Travis created this terror and time to stop it is running out.
