The enemy doesn't carry a weapon. The enemy doesn't need one. A hacker known only as Ceti has been quietly dismantling the architecture of the global economy - targeting financial institutions, erasing accounts, destabilizing markets. Methodical. Invisible. And to a large portion of the public, heroic. Ceti has become a folk legend, a digital Robin Hood striking at the institutions people already distrust. Eric Swan isn't interested in the mythology. He's interested in the body count of people who got too close to the truth. The case takes Swan to sea - which would be fine, except his current body has a serious problem with boats - and eventually into an alliance with a familiar face he didn't expect to see again. Meanwhile, the investigation keeps pointing toward an uncomfortable question: how do you stop someone that half the world is rooting for? Quiet War is the fifth book in the Eric Swan series - clever, fast, and genuinely surprising. ★★★★★ "This book is my favorite of the series thus far. They just keep getting better!" ★★★★★ "I don't want this series to ever end!" ★★★★★ "I always find myself drawn to the humanity of Eric Swan-his sarcasm and efficiency balanced against his internal and philosophical struggles. I root for him." ★★★★★ "I actually learned things I didn't know before about the dark web. I like the level of suspense in this book."
