Bytes and Bullets is an analytically rich account of how technology is upending global competition.

A prequel to the Starscape Chronicles franchise. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Harmon, a mid-level military special operations commander, is selected to represent his nation and lead an international task force. Their mission: Investigate a new extraterrestrial faction, already gaining influence over their world, and conduct an ongoing threat assessment, recommending courses of action as well as implementing said interventions as directed by "The Escalon Council."

In Bytes and Bullets, Steven Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war.
