At a time when cyberwar and international politics are increasingly impossible to separate, Rob Ball’s Power Denied is a timely and compelling examination of power, surveillance, and technological superiority. This political thriller takes readers into a world of high-stakes intrigue in which the fate of nations hangs on one potential disastrous step in cyber strength.
Power Denied follows a cast of vividly realised characters from Russia, the UK, the US, China, and across the globe as they become involved in a web of secrecy and deceit. Central to the narrative is a complex plot hatched in the Kremlin: a piece of technology that can seize control of all world communications, infrastructure, financial networks, and military operations at the click of a button. This cyber blackout can plunge the world into chaos and irrevocably change the balance of power.
