Author Description

In Mismatch, you'll find an eccentric phone phreak/computer hacker, a ruthless KGB agent, nuclear submarines on the prowl, and the ultimate plan to blow America sky-high. Two rogue FBI agents make a catastrophic error in judgment when they catch the nation's #1 computer hacker and decide to rough him up to intimidate him into quitting his "hobby." Percy Marsh is not easily intimidated, and what no one knows—not even the FBI—is that he has the power to shut down the entirety of America's communication systems. Coldly seeking revenge for his abuse, Marsh enlists the aid of a phone phreaking associate known as "The Kraut." What he doesn't know is that Viktor Lubov is a long-term Soviet "sleeper," an agent-in-place seeking an opportunity to strike. Marsh provides that opportunity with his communication shutdown, and soon Lubov is planning to circumvent Marsh's plan with a far more deadly plan of his own. He is going to tell his handlers in Moscow that America will soon be helpless to counterstrike after an all-out nuclear first strike. All he has to do is relay the message in the approved through a Soviet submarine playing cat-and-mouse with an American sub prowling off the California coastline. World War III is just a shutdown away!
