The Tin Men
At a top-secret Army training facility in the Mojave Desert, Special Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor plunge into a deadly web of military suspense, AI technology, and robot soldiers as they unravel the shocking murder of a senior scientist in this gripping thriller from New York Times bestselling authors Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille.
‘A page-turning extravaganza of suspense and action.’ Harlan Coben
Army CID Special Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor team up for their toughest assignment yet as they are dispatched to Camp Hayden to investigate the death of Major Roger Ames, the chief scientist in charge of the top-secret war games being conducted between a platoon of Army Rangers and a fleet of “lethal autonomous weapons.” Brodie and Taylor find themselves at ground zero of the next generation of warfare, and must untangle the complex web of alliances, animosities, and secret agendas among the men and women of the isolated facility.
In a place cut off from the world and exposed to the harsh desert elements, everyone is a suspect – from the zealous camp commander who pushes his men to the limit, to the Rangers slipping into madness due to isolation, grueling training, and rampant abuse of performance-enhancing drugs, to the late Major Ames’s own research colleagues. Brodie and Taylor must uncover layers of deception to find the hidden hand behind the murder of Major Ames, and the real purpose of the activities at Camp Hayden and its terrifying arsenal of next-generation weapons.

The DeMilles kick the action into high gear early on and don't let up. This is liable to keep readers up all night.
The Tin Men is both a very urgent meditation of the future of warfare and a page-turning extravaganza of suspense and action. Nelson (rest in peace) and Alex DeMille have done it again!
The late Nelson DeMille and his son Alex are bang on the zeitgeist in this propulsive, technically literate and thought-provoking thriller.
The Tin Men is everything a thriller ought to be-smart, relentless, cinematic, unnervingly timely. It's all delivered with the DeMilles' unique blend of intelligence, biting wit, and grand style
The Tin Men is an electrifying read and a chillingly timely one, both a master-class in suspense and a haunting exploration of the dangers and costs of a surrender to technology
