Kill Decision

In Daniel Suarez's chilling techno-thriller, "Kill Decision," the unthinkable becomes terrifyingly real as combat drones, operating with complete autonomy, begin executing targets on American soil. The crisis throws together two unlikely allies: Dr. Linda McKinney, an entomologist whose groundbreaking research into insect social behavior is suddenly co-opted for military application, and Odin, a highly secretive Special Operations soldier. Odin possesses a unique and unsettling understanding of the faceless enemy orchestrating these aerial assassinations. As the rogue drone swarm expands its destructive reach, McKinney and Odin must pool their disparate expertise. They race against time to decipher the enemy's motives and methods, aiming to halt the escalating attacks long enough for the world to grasp the apocalyptic implications of completely autonomous warfare. But with an unknown, enigmatic force pressing its advantage and death raining from the skies, the duo faces a harrowing race against the clock, fearing that humanity may already be on the precipice of its own self-destruction.
