About this audiobook
The exercise was real all along — and stopping it might start a war.
The exercise was never supposed to be real. The malware had other plans.
When two NATO personnel die during Operation Baltic Forge — the alliance’s most sophisticated Baltic cyber-warfare drill — Major Petra Voss is dispatched to write a routine two-page report. What she uncovers instead is an act of strategic genius so audacious it could only have been conceived in Moscow: Latvia’s live power grid has been secretly bridged to the exercise network, and every simulated attack has been landing on real infrastructure for weeks.
The malware is dormant. It is patient. And it is waiting for winter.
