Deep Black for Men

From cyber-spies to cyber-warriors, they have become the new defenders of world peace, as featured in the first installment of the technothriller series by the New York Times–bestselling author.

In Stephen Coonts' "Deep Black," co-written with Jim DeFelice, a spy plane gathering data on a new Russian weapon is unexpectedly shot down by a mysterious MiG. The question remains: was it an accident or the prelude to the next world war? The National Security Agency (NSA) and its covert operations team, "Deep Black," are the only ones equipped to uncover the truth.

Dispatched by the NSA, ex-Marine sniper Charlie Dean is sent to Russia, where he teams up with former Delta Force trooper Lia DeFrancesca to investigate the plane's demise. As the Deep Black team delves deeper, they uncover an even more alarming secret: a plot to assassinate the Russian president and violently overthrow the democratic government. The implications of such a coup could be catastrophic for Russia and the entire world.

With no clearance from the government it is tasked to protect, the NSA is forced to go to war. Before Lia and Dean can unravel the conspiracy, however, they learn that one of the spy plane's passengers – an NSA techie – had survived the crash. This critical information could now fall into enemy hands, and the adversary is playing to win at all costs.

Praised for his exceptional storytelling abilities, Stephen Coonts has once again delivered a gripping and suspenseful technothriller. As described by The New York Times Book Review, Coonts "knows how to write and build suspense," marking him as "a natural storyteller." USA Today echoes this sentiment, stating that Coonts possesses "a rare gift," while Publishers Weekly hails him as "the master of the techno thriller."
