Wow. Amazing. I just wasn't expecting such a griping, cannot-put-down read. I finished it in one day. I never thought I would like the two stories - one current and one in the past to work, but boy does it. I found it gripping and the author has a way with words. Everything seemed so smooth I was engrossed in the storylines from the beginning. I love the parallelism with the history of our nation. A wonderful and great read. This will become a classic and what folks will be talking about in the months to come.

This dual timeline follows two men in the Jouett family. Jack is fighting in the Revolutionary war and is on a special mission for Thomas Jefferson. Paul is living in the present and is fighting in the war against the dark web and cyber terrorism. Both became members of an elite unit that answers only to the President. One is fighting to create a nation; the other to preserve our nation. While I did not understand much of the coding and networking language, I did appreciate the complexity and our utter dependency of it working correctly. Going Dark, by George Mehok was a fascinating and scary read.
