08-02-22 Game Industry News Review Stars & Stripes

"This is a book that Watch Dogs fans will really want to check out, as well as those who enjoy a good action-oriented story. …. This is a really good entry into the Watch Dogs story that serves to reintroduce Aiden Pearce and what he was doing before the events of the Bloodline DLC." - Game Industry News

04-01-22 Best Thriller Books Reviews Stars & Stripes

"A huge treat for the video game fans as we read Aiden Pearce control cranes, vehicles, and all sorts of electronics in quick-witted fashion during shootouts with shotgun-arms against bulletproof chest augmentations and rpm-revving car chases to gain the upper hand in a show of cinematic and stunning action sequences on a grand scale. By the end, you’ll wish for a big budget movie to incorporate these scenes." - Best Thriller Books

Watch Dogs: Stars & Stripes

By Sean Grigsby and Stewart Hotston

Infamous hacker Aiden Pearce, protagonist of the Watch Dogs® games, follows a bloody trail of corruption to the highest levels of government in this gritty action adventure from the bestselling videogame

Older, but not necessarily wiser, Aiden Pearce, “the Fox”, is a rolling stone, surviving by moving from one shadowy hacker job to the next. While in Baltimore, he’s captured by a mysterious agent who insists finding missing cargo full of transhuman tech is something only Pearce can do. When flattery doesn’t work, he’s blackmailed into taking the job. Worse, he’s partnered again with the unscrupulous Jordi Chin. Soon what looks like a simple investigation spirals into a nefarious plot leading all the way to the White House. Yet why should Aiden help a country that only wants him behind bars? For the Vigilante, no one escapes hard justice – not even Uncle Sam.
