“There’s no hiding in cyberspace,” Peter said. His voice was firm, his face determined. He had to make her understand. “These people we’re dealing with, they’re building the Internet. They control the data and the access and they know how to use it as a weapon.”
The year is 1994, the dawn of the Internet Age, when companies from Silicon Valley to London are fighting to claim the billions to be made on the new information highway. Attending the Consumer Electronics Show, Peter Ellis, an aggressive investigative reporter fighting to reclaim his damaged reputation after being framed for rigging a story, learns that a programmer skilled in cryptography, cracking encrypted computer code, has mysteriously disappeared.
Peter’s quest to find the missing programmer unwittingly pits him against a brilliant hacker and vengeful assassin with an agenda of his own. He’s taking revenge against the man who ruined his life: computer industry luminary David Lockwood who is now poised to introduce a product that will change the Internet forever.
