They’ve wrestled with or are wrestling with demons.
I like writing about men and women who are complex and have in many instances overcome-or are in the process of overcoming-some tough situations in life. What is your favorite type of character to write about? What character in the book really spoke to you? What are three things you have on your writing desk?
The concept and characters are so rich, I can tell virtually any kind of story I want.
#INVISIBLE CITIES EXCERPT SERIES#
What part or aspect of this series do you love the most?
It’s a tough job-but somebody’s gotta do it! I want to open it up to a whole new audience. As someone who has worked with Tom and the Clancy franchise for long stretches over two or three decades, I feel a great responsibility to them. I’m deeply appreciative of having a built-in readership. I know I have to satisfy old fans and simultaneously bring in new ones. The original series was a perennial bestseller, so I know I have to deliver on a big way. The challenges and rewards are often one and the same. What have been some challenges and some rewards from taking over a series originally created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik? I work hard to develop heroes that aren’t recycled stereotypes. They are human and diverse and representative of the real world. Also, one of my strengths as a writer is characterization, and the characters on this series are among the best I’ve ever created. I’m universe-building here and riding with my foot off the brake pedal.

It propels the original concept of a cyber-security force into a modern, gritty new era full of slam-bang action. What should those new to the series know? There’s a lot of character development, and Mario Perez and Laura Cruz, who came to me in a dream-complete with their introductory scene-add some light and humor to a sometimes dark, almost Gothic tale. I also introduce two of my favorite characters ever, Mario and Laura, my two lovebirds. Well, after introducing a rather large ensemble cast of characters in the first novel of the NET FORCE reboot, I focus on four or five in this book, including grey hat hacker Kali Alcazar and manhunter Mike Carmody in one major storyline, and John Howard and Julio Fernandez in a second. Would you tell us more about the main characters from NET FORCE: ATTACK PROTOCOL? Their attack protocol: to seize control of the Internet, and open the door for a modern, nuclear Pearl Harbor…unless the men and women of Net Force can stop them. Has a Net Force insider turned traitor? The stakes are suddenly ratcheted higher when a global syndicate of black hat hackers and a newly belligerent Russia hatch an ambitious scheme to plunge the United States into a crippling war-one that will leave Moscow and its Dark Web allies supreme. And he’s ready to strike again, using the digital space to advance his destructive goals.īut before Net Force can get boots on the ground, the master hacker and his cadre mount a devastating high tech assault against the agency’s military threat-response unit. The president’s new cybersecurity agency homes in on a dangerous figure operating in the shadows of the Carpathian mountains. In the wake of stunning terrorist attacks around the world, Net Force jumps into action. The cutting-edge Net Force thriller series, created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik and written by Jerome Preisler reveals the invisible battlefield where the war for global dominance is fought.
