Anonymous

The most elite team you’ve never heard of. 
By day, Jonathan Roy is the president of a prestigious tech university. But when duty calls, he’s the commanding officer of an elite National Guard Special Forces team—highly trained part-time warriors with full-time firepower. 
When sophisticated drone and cyberattacks cripple key infrastructure across the U.S., the digital fingerprints point to Jon’s gifted teenage son. Framed, hunted, and in the crosshairs of both law enforcement and international adversaries, Jon must rally his unconventional team: a combat-hardened SWAT team leader, a cyber warfare PhD with a troubled past, and a medic who juggles emergency room chaos with battlefield trauma. 
But what begins as a domestic manhunt to find the true culprit spirals into a globe-spanning pursuit—from ambushes in Seattle streets to drone strikes on rare earth mines of Bulgaria and data wars in the darkest corners of the web. As the team races against the clock, they uncover a brutal conspiracy that could bring America to its knees—and make Jon’s son the face of its collapse. 
Perfect for fans of Brad Taylor, Jack Carr, and Mark Greaney, Guard U.S. delivers an explosive fusion of high-tech warfare, cyber sabotage, and unsung heroism—where every firefight, data breach, and moral decision counts.
