Publisher's Synopsis
In the fast-paced spy thriller Birdwatcher, Mark Rechner, a brilliant US Foreign Service Officer stationed in Berlin, finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes battle against the Shadow Net Collective-a terrorist network wielding advanced AI to manipulate global markets and blackmail nations. Operating for both the State Department and the CIA, Rechner, with exceptional observational skills, dives into a world of moral ambiguity, grappling with AI-driven surveillance, deepfake technology, and a historical secret society.
