Charles Wayne
New Spy Thriller Novel
Charles Wayne's debut novel is a spellbinding space spy thriller rooted in today's high-technology battle for command of the new frontier.
Wayne's background as a Wall Street executive and entrepreneur over the last half-century gave him a ringside view of the massive technological innovations transforming the Street from clubby partnerships to a huge strip of undercapitalized casinos run not by owners but hired gunslingers. All made possible by massive computer power and black box models not widely understood.
This transformation is not dissimilar to the change of our national security agencies over the same period. Once the province of index card code breakers and gumshoe spies national security now relies on computing and data storage of unimaginable magnitude.
A frighteningly small number of managers understand and control both paradigms.
Radiant Sentry shows how a small group of talented army counterintelligence agents prevent secrets from being stolen.
