Description

The Silicon War is a fictional story depicting the theft and illegal export of sensitive U.S. electronic equipment and the federal government's efforts to track down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. The story begins with the discovery in the U.S. that equipment is being funneled to the Soviet Union and the near-simultaneous discovery in the U.S.S.R. that the U.S. has electronic surveillance capabilities far in excess of past assumptions. Each of these discoveries triggers a series of complex and dangerous events, bringing both sides together in a surprising manner. It includes a frantic chase across the Soviet Union in which CIA agents try to save the lives of two Soviet bureaucrats by getting them out of the Soviet Union into Finland. The story concludes by portraying the ultimate outcome of the events in the lives of the characters.

Author Biography:

Mark Hanson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He received his bachelor's degree in Physics and MBA from the University of Utah. Having been recruited by Watkins-Johnson Company, he and his family moved to Silicon Valley, California, in 1974. There he worked in several management positions, including, for example, managing the development and manufacturing of the Space Shuttle antennas. It was during this time that the extent of Soviet efforts to obtain highly sensitive electronic equipment and components was made public. In 1993 Mark and his family returned to Utah to work in management for a software development company. He helped the company develop its flagship products and also helped guide it through economic turmoil to success. Mark is now retired and lives with his wife in South Jordan, Utah. This is his first novel.
