 Waking Up Rich: The Secret CIA Bitcoin Project That Became a Trillion-Dollar Trojan Horse, James Robb, Independently Published, 2021

This novel is all about bitcoin, which was created by the CIA. It was discovered to provide incredible insight into the finances of the world's terrorists and rogue nations.

Another North Korean missile test has failed. Those of the scientists who are still alive know that another failure Will Not Be Tolerated. They alert North Korean agents all over the world, looking for very specific components. The CIA subtly guides them toward specific suppliers. One of the components just happens to be in the basement of MI5 Headquarters in London. There is also a man who has been in a coma for the past year. He created an algorithm to make bitcoin mining much easier, and faster, than at present. Lots of people want what is in his head; it could be worth billions of dollars.

This is a gripping, and very up-to-the-minute story. It moves very quickly, and is easy to read. This tale will keep the reader up very late at night.
