The Fourth Branch

After the war in Haiti, all Victor Gates wants is to return home to Philadelphia and reconnect with his friends. Instead, he's pitted against Omega, a terrorist syndicate hell-bent on destroying American Cyberocracy. And Victor, America's greatest war hero, has had to fight hard to get out from under the shadow of the most detestable person in the world, his father, the purported leader of Omega. The all-powerful Fourth Branch of the US government governs the artificial intelligence used to power the nation's Cyberocracy. Victor has become an unwitting player in Omega's and the Fourth Branch's sinister game. A cryptic message with schematics of the world's most destructive weapon puts the pieces on the board. He'll need to connect the dots, and confront his father, to prevent the weapon from tearing 'The City of Brotherly Love' to shreds on 4 July 2076. That is before it tears itself apart first.
