Her memorable characters carve uncommon paths, all too aware their fellow citizens won't recognize Communist China's manipulation of the media, financial markets, and governmental bureaucracy before it's too late. ANN BRIDGES integrates her vast Silicon Valley executive experience into fast-paced, suspenseful stories. Her intimate knowledge of boardroom decisions at emerging technology companies brings authenticity to her intelligent, sexy dramas, and exposes the Achilles' Heel of the 21st century-a lifestyle and national security wholly reliant on China.
