A Note From the Publisher

J. Robert Keating has worked with cutting-edge technology since 1977. His lifetime passion has been meshing technology with art in both music and the written word. It was while working with coauthor Ralph O. Heatly that the Internet flaw that forms the basis of this series came to light.

Ralph O. Heatly is an accomplished musician, composer, and recording artist. He is a high-tech inventor with a successful business career. His ability to merge creativity with technology has been instrumental in the development of this complex, fast-paced thriller.

The authors share a deep concern about Internet governance and the threats posed by the current structure and its lack of accountability.

Advance Praise

"Lights Out in Istanbul is an espionage story sharpened to perfection—immersed in mood, filled with danger, and as unyielding as it is polished. It is an exemplary showcase of contemporary thriller writing: swift, ruthless, and expertly crafted." - Feathered Quill

"Lights Out in Istanbul by J. Robert Keating and Ralph O. Heatly was an exceptional espionage thriller that captivated me from the very beginning. The action began right away and never lost momentum. The story was fast-paced, and the tension kept me thoroughly engaged. I found myself flipping through the pages as quickly as possible, worried I might miss something if I set the book down. Filled with unexpected twists and turns, I was perpetually astonished by the unfolding events. The characters felt genuine and relatable. Henry struggled to accept the reality that things were not as he had thought. The story was masterfully written, and the writing style was compelling. The book was filled with astonishing moments, and kept my focus the entire time." - Readers' Favorite
