What he finds instead is MERIDIAN - a domestic surveillance program tracking forty-seven thousand American citizens. Journalists. Congressional staffers. Civil liberties attorneys. People who threatened the program's existence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Some of them are dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Within seventy-two hours, Marcus is the most wanted hacker in the country. The FBI is building a case. Paladin Defense Systems has hired a methodical, relentless security chief named Derek Sato to find him. And a man named Colonel Harmon is offering a fifth option Marcus didn't know he had: join an off-the-books cyber operations team, or face prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There's a catch. The team's first mission is cleaning up Marcus's mess - and the people who built MERIDIAN will kill to protect it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Marcus has always worked alone. He's never trusted a partner, never followed someone else's plan, never had to care whether his mistakes got other people hurt. Now he's the weakest link on a team of specialists who are risking everything on his intelligence - and his ability to stop being the person who got them into this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eevidence\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eon\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethree\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ehard\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003edrives.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003etruth\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eforty-seven\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethousand\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003enames.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnd\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eonly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eway\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eout\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethrough\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ea\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003esystem\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ewas\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003edesigned\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eto\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003emake\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003epeople\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003elike\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMarcus\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003edisappear.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Beams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250201803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Joe Beams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997515067647,"sku":"9798250201803","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lateral-movement-joe-beams-9798250201803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
