Reseña del libro "Target President (en Inglés)"
To save the President of Mexico, they will have to kidnap him. The system built to keep him alive is about to become the perfect route to his execution. President Esteban Valdés is only hours away from launching an operation capable of dismantling PACTO, a clandestine network that has spent years embedding itself inside corporations, technology, security systems, and public institutions. At 8:00 p.m., the crackdown begins. At 8:17 p.m., Valdés will address the nation. His enemies need him dead before then. But PACTO does not intend to attack the President directly. That would be too obvious. Instead, they will manipulate the threats surrounding VAULT 17, the automated presidential extraction protocol designed to move Valdés to safety during a crisis. One by one, every escape route will become more dangerous—until the system itself selects the only path left. The path PACTO has chosen for him. VAULT 17 will not be hacked. It will not malfunction. It will work exactly as designed. And that is what makes the plan almost impossible to stop. When Omar R. receives a classified file exposing the operation, he immediately understands the most dangerous part of the conspiracy: he has no idea how deep the infiltration goes. Warning the wrong official could deliver the President directly into the hands of the people trying to kill him. So Omar does the unthinkable. He assembles seven specialists with completely different skills—technology, presidential protection, mobility, human behavior, drones, emergency medicine, and crisis strategy—and gives them a mission no one would believe if they heard it out loud: Get to the President before his own security system does. What begins as an attempt to prevent an assassination rapidly becomes a race across Mexico City, where surveillance cameras, closed streets, drones, armored convoys, compromised communications, and ordinary traffic can change the outcome in seconds. They cannot trust the system. They cannot simply warn the President. And once VAULT 17 activates, they will not have time to explain that the people apparently attacking his security detail may be the only people trying to keep him alive. Because when the emergency begins, the system will need only seventeen seconds to make its decision. Seventeen seconds to lock the route. Seventeen seconds to move the President. Seventeen seconds before a protection protocol becomes an execution mechanism. And if Omar and his team want to save Esteban Valdés, they will have to commit the most impossible crime of their lives: Kidnap the President of Mexico. TARGET: PRESIDENT is a fast-paced political and technological thriller built around a terrifying question: What happens when a security system does everything correctly—and still delivers you to the enemy? A conspiracy hidden inside legitimate institutions. A presidential protection system turned against the man it was created to save. A group of ordinary specialists forced into an extraordinary operation. And a countdown where every second matters. The President has seventeen seconds. So do they.
