Unmanned: A novel

Unmanned: A novel

From the widely acclaimed author of The Prisoner of GuantÃ¡namo and The Double Game, an electrifying, timely, psychologically gripping descent into the hidden, expanding world of drone warfare.
Â Â Â Â Â Â
Not very long ago, Darwin Cole was an F-16 fighter pilot. He was a family man. He was on top of the world. Now? Heâ€™s a washout drunk with a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force, living alone in the Nevada desert and haunted by an image beamed from one of his last missions as a â€œpilotâ€ of a Predator droneâ€”a harrowing shot of an Afghan child running for her life.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
When Cole is approached by three journalists trying to uncover the identity of the possibly rogue intelligence operative who called the shots in Coleâ€™s ill-fated mission, Cole reluctantly agrees to team up with them.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
But in our surveillance culture, even the well intentioned are liable to find themselves under scrutiny, running for their lives, especially when the trail theyâ€™re following leads to the very heart of that cultureâ€”in intelligence, in the military, and among the unchecked private contractors who stand to profit richly from the advancing technology . . . not merely for use â€œover there,â€ but for right here, right now.Â
