A globe-trotting cyber-thriller built on paranoia and high-stakes cat-and-mouse pursuit, where technology and espionage collide with personal stakes.

Nicholas Hathaway, a furloughed convict, and his American and Chinese partners hunt a high-level cybercrime network from Chicago to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Jakarta. As Hathaway closes in, the stakes become personal as he discovers that the attack on a Chinese nuclear power plant was just the beginning.
