From international bestselling action/adventure author T.R. Harris comes:
Book #1 of The Drone Wars Series…

DAY of the DRONE

Ripped from the headlines… this is what America will look like fifteen years in the future, when terrorist-controlled drones rule the skies, raining death and destruction down on a terrified population.
Yet America has a cure for the epidemic of deadly drone attacks… the Rapid Defense Center, a government agency tasked with facing the threat head-on, using their own fleet of the most-advanced combat drones in the world…
Xander Moore plays a video game for a living; however, the game he plays has real weapons and real body-counts. If he loses, people die. That’s why he’s the best. He can’t afford to be anything else.
As the top drone pilot at the Rapid Defense Center, Xander and his team fight an ever-escalating war against terrorist-controlled UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). These small and seemingly harmless toys and tools have become the weapon-of-choice for terrorists, criminals and psychos, and able to bring America to her knees through a thousand tiny cuts, rather than one massive event. It’s the job of Xander and the RDC to save as many innocent lives as possible by shutting down these attacks as soon as they begin. This is drone-on-drone combat-to the death-pure and simple. And the RDC is damn good at what they do.
That is until the RDC is taken out by a massive terrorist drone strike, made possible by the betrayal of a disgruntled former employee. Now with the country’s best line of defense against killer drones out of action, it’s a free-for-all for anyone who’s ever held a grudge against America. And all they need to participate is a three hundred dollar drone and a homemade bomb.
From Las Vegas to San Diego, from Washington, D.C. to Karachi, Pakistan, Day of the Drone is a non-stop thrill ride of action adventure, as Xander and the beautiful broadcast reporter Tiffany Collins are pursued by terrorist hit squads from coast to coast and from one horrific event to the next. Xander and his team of misfit drone pilots from the old days are the only ones who can end the terror and save the nation… if they live long enough.

For readers of military techo/thrillers, Day of the Drone is a pulse-pumping and chilling look into the future of drone warfare. And this war is not only in your own backyard, it’s hovering above your head right now…

T.R. (Tom) Harris is the author of twelve bestselling science fiction novels. With Day of the Drone he ventures into the near-future to envision a time when seemingly innocent drones are used to spread terror and mayhem around the world. This isn’t fantasy… this is reality, derived from a logical extrapolation of the news events of today.
This IS going to happen. The only question is when?
