In his bestselling first novel, <i>The Scorpion's Gate</i>, he demonstrated what could happen. And now, in <i>Breakpoint</i>, America's preeminent counterterrorism expert and #1 bestselling author shows us all what might come next. <p> The global village--an intricately intertwined network of technology that binds together the world's economies, governments, and communication systems. So large, so vital--and so fragile. Now a sophisticated group is seeking to "disconnect the globe"--destroying computer grids, communications satellites, Internet cable centers, biotech firms. Hard to do? If only that were so. <p> Quickly, a dedicated team of men and women assembles to try to track the group down, searching through right-wing militias and Russian organized crime, Jihadist terrorists and enemy nation-states. But the attacks are coming more swiftly now, and growing in destructiveness. Soon, they will reach the breakpoint--and then there may be nothing anybody can do. <p> In an exclusive video message for Amazon.com customers, Richard Clarke introduces his new novel, and explains why, as he says, "sometimes you can tell more truth through fiction": <p align=center><p> <table cellpadding="4" width="100%"> <tr align="center"><td><img src=" http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/video-grabs/richard-clark-breakpoint_sl.jpg" border="0" align="center"></td></tr> </table> <p align=left> Reviewers everywhere praised the suspense and pace of <i>The Scorpion's Gate</i>, the vivid depictions of war, espionage, and bureaucracy, but most of all they hailed its authenticity. "Unlike most novelists, the man has been there and done that," said <i>The New York Times Book Review</i>. "Some of us," added <i>The Washington Post</i>, "have learned to listen when Richard A. Clarke has something to say." And we'd better hope they're listening now. 85567 16 1 2007 Breakpoint total:96|5:5|4:35|3:38|2:12|1:6| 96 309 150 24 0 0 false false Thu Jan 15 22:44:10 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 18:55:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Aug 31 11:21:25 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 11:28:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 16:12:18 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 06:52:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 06 22:50:45 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 23:22:12 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Oct 04 05:59:57 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 06:00:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Apr 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 23 07:51:27 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 25 10:41:01 -0700 2008
