About

Dead Dogs Don’t Bite is a military techno-thriller about Jonathan Weber, a gifted weapons designer who has spent more than twenty years developing advanced systems for the United States. When one of his creations kills someone he cares about, Jonathan leaves the defense industry behind and begins pursuing a radical idea: What if military machines could be stopped without killing the people operating them?

His answer is LUCY, a revolutionary pulse weapon capable of disabling electronic systems inside vehicles without firing a conventional round. Working in secrecy, Jonathan brings together engineers, scientists, pilots, and former military operators to develop the technology. Their work soon leads to BETTY, a fast unmanned aircraft that can deliver the same disabling power from the sky, and NAUTICA, a maritime system carried aboard the mysterious yacht Scepter.

When unexplained military failures begin occurring around the world, the CIA, FBI, foreign governments, defense contractors, and deadly mercenaries start searching for whoever controls the technology. Jonathan created LUCY to save lives, but its growing power could change warfare forever—and make it one of the most dangerous weapons ever created.

Moving from secret facilities in Missouri to Afghanistan, Europe, the Korean coast, and Washington, Dead Dogs Don’t Bite combines military technology, covert operations, international intrigue, and fast-moving suspense. At the center of the novel is one troubling question: Can a weapon designed to preserve life remain peaceful once the world discovers its power?
