In Lights Out in Istanbul by J. Robert Keating and Ralph O. Heatly, Henry Vanzant was a guest on the Muggsy Boyd Show to share his thoughts on artificial intelligence. Henry wrote a book filled with valuable information that could be misused by malicious individuals. This inspired Faheem El Hashem to abduct Henry and force him to hand over the master key that would allow him to disable websites and domains for his nefarious plans. The Black Code intervened to rescue Henry, as they believed his book disclosed too much about their activities, particularly regarding the technological aspects. But it appears that Faheem has already initiated his attacks, as three electrical power plants have gone offline. If too many plants shut down, it could put a strain on the power grid, leaving millions of citizens without electricity and water.
Lights Out in Istanbul by J. Robert Keating and Ralph O. Heatly was an exceptional espionage thriller that captivated me from the very beginning. The action began right away and never lost momentum. The story was fast-paced, and the tension kept me thoroughly engaged. I found myself flipping through the pages as quickly as possible, worried I might miss something if I set the book down. Filled with unexpected twists and turns, I was perpetually astonished by the unfolding events. The characters felt genuine and relatable. Henry struggled to accept the reality that things were not as he had thought. The story was masterfully written, and the writing style was compelling. The book was filled with astonishing moments, and kept my focus the entire time.
