Alex Suddaby explores the tension between human expertise and the systems we build to navigate the world. His five-book Wildcards series is rooted in offshore sailing races that go wrong, crews under pressure, moments where experience counts for more than technology. In the standalone techno-thriller Eisenhower, Suddaby moves from open water to the corridors of American intelligence. The setting changes; the question doesn't: what happens when we trust a system more than the people who built it? The novel was named a Reedsy Discovery Must Read: "my favourite book I have read in the last year."
