Drone Technology as Tool of Terror at the Heart of Thriller From Florida Author

Drone technology is making its presence known and is the focus of Joel Narlock’s “Drone Games,” which will be released on Oct. 14 and will be available in bookstores and from online retailers.

The benefits are evident, but what if drones were used for evil?

In “Drone Games,” it’s domestic terrorism as you’ve never seen it before. An al-Qaeda terror ​cell uses cutting-edge drone technology to circumvent post-9/11 airport security measures. Within hours, two commercial planes crash. The President faces an unthinkable decision: ground US aviation—and the economy—or keep flying and risk more deaths. Based on real-life technology, “Drone Games” is a fascinating fictional account of terrorism’s future.

“Drone Games” will make its debut at a book launch party at the Uva Gourmet Shoppe in Key West, Florida, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

About the author:

Joel Narlock thrives on asking “what if.” He has interviewed the US Secret Service, top commercial airline pilots, and FAA and military officials about drones flying where they shouldn’t. He was given a private tour of Andrews AFB specifically to evaluate a drone penetrating its perimeter. He walked the rooftop of Camden Yards stadium in Baltimore to evaluate a drone’s ability to target the pitcher’s mound. He predicts that drone technology and usage in America will increase dramatically, hopefully to benefit mankind. “Drone Games” is a realistic story about using drones for evil. By raising drone awareness, perhaps others will ask “what if” and be prepared to stop those who might actually try similar tactics. And that’s a good thing. Joel is also the author of “Target Acquired.” He took first place in Key West’s 2013 Mystery Fest short story contest.
