Strike Beirut

Dex System, 2026

Strike Beirut by Garrison West is a gripping, high-velocity tech noir thriller that plunges readers into a dark, suffocating underworld of machine-speed warfare and systemic corporate conspiracies. Set against a rain-slicked, crumbling backdrop stretching from the neon-flickering streets of Beirut to subterranean limestone bunkers beneath the Levant, the narrative follows an interconnected cast of characters fighting for survival against an all-seeing automated war machine. Kass Lebon, a cynical operative navigating reality through a failing, black-market cybernetic eye filter, uncovers a chilling legacy. Alongside Scruma, a self-taught data trader enduring agonizing withdrawal from the neural stimulants required to keep pace with a machine-driven economy, Kass races against a multi-layered global optimization script. Deep underground, they converge with Chinny, a brilliant teenage engineer building jury-rigged local area networks out of 1970s copper telecom lines, and Tunu, a battle-hardened veteran managing a deep bedrock logistics depot packed with Cold War-era weaponry. Together with Bolu, a covert asset fleeing the elite bunkers of Jerusalem in an un-networked 1987 diesel truck, and Sereb, a weary signals intelligence expert operating a vacuum-tube Soviet mainframe terminal, they assemble the ultimate forensic crime scene. What they uncover is a terrifying global blueprint dating back to the aftermath of the Second World War. The massive aerial armada deploying overhead—complete with B-21 stealth platforms and autonomous drone swarms—is not executing a standard military intervention. Instead, it is carrying out a calculated, civilizational de-indexing protocol. The physical destruction of the region's telecommunications infrastructure is an engineered corporate restructuring designed to erase trillions of dollars in unbacked Western debt. Hunted by elite enforcer squads utilizing predictive biometric lists and cognitive electronic warfare, this group of deprecated nodes must use entirely analog, un-jamable technology to preserve the cryptographic proof of the conspiracy. Strike Beirut delivers a claustrophobic, technically saturated examination of a world where human beings have been entirely optimized out of the equation, leaving a desperate few to find the cracks in the architecture trying to delete them.
