'The dates are in the future. Lori's telling us that there will be terrorist attacks on August 14 and September 11 ' Taft felt sick to her stomach. Paula Jankovic is a willing tool of Constantine Petrenko, a Russian oligarch with a penchant for world domination and insatiable greed. Using a superstorm of dark data and fake news, Jankovic has become skilled at harnessing the power of the mysterious Selfish Ledger and personal social media accounts to get innocent people to do her bidding, however horrible it may be. Abu al-Badri is a terrorist leader who wants to further his cause. By aligning himself with the same wealthy benefactor, he has all he needs to access top targets around the world to wreak unimaginable violence and destruction. Together Jankovic and al-Badri unleash a coordinated attack that is designed to leave societies and financial markets in ruins and no one richer or more powerful than the Russian standing at the top.…

Review
"This is a very contemporary and cautionary tale about what could very well happen when financial terrorists join forces with radical terrorists. This book is certainly one of the most well-researched of the new dystopian novels and a real page-turner to the surprising end." -BookLife
"...the most unsettling aspect of Wood's story is its believability; not only is The Selfish Ledger a real-life concept, but the villains' easy manipulation of people via social media is a convincing turn...A taut tale of a global attack that's both gripping and frighteningly plausible." -Kirkus
"...Wood scares the hell out of the reader, while offering a primer in what can happen when these bad actors manage to find each other and team up in a common cause: bringing down the social order. As you turn the pages, and you will, be forewarned: you've had your last night of undisturbed sleep." -Charles Salzberg
