Spy Cartel John Lenardon

Jack Garrett designed Optic, the powerful surveillance software created for the National Security Agency to track terrorists. When he realizes it is instead being used to monitor Americans, he goes rogue. With the help of his ex-girlfriend Maddie, the agency's Assistant Director, he fights to destroy his creation. Jack gathers a team of young misfit hackers to help him: Dylan, the brilliant virus writer kicked out of MIT; Sophie, the socially inept introvert who has mastered advanced surveillance techniques; and Jes, the computer-penetration expert who combines biting humor with deep compassion. Each of them is lost and alone until Jack unites them as a team with a single, critical goal. While the team searches for a way to bring down Optic, Jack and his ex-Navy buddy, Ajax, defend the team against the mercenaries sent to kill them. This contemporary novel and the techniques described are based on facts.
