Industrial espionage tests personal and national ethics, and risks the unthinkable, when ex-lovers cross paths in Silicon Valley. After graduating from Stanford in 1968 with a degree in international law, Michael Whitaker honored his father's last wish for him to serve his country and lead a "good and meaningful life" by committing to protect proprietary technology from dangerous factions and governments. But that was before he fell for Charmaine Walker, cruel fate separated and scared them, and a French industrial secrets broker slaughtered Michael's partners from Jackson Hole to Manila. When circuit designs that could trigger Armageddon are stolen from a secret facility in the mountains near Jackson Hole, Michael is driven to avenge his mentor's murder. He vows to track the thief's exotic accomplice and the stolen technology from Cebu to Silicon Valley. Though warned of a dangerous and beautiful woman sourcing the lethal commerce, Michael doesn't realize that following the package from Cebu to her door may jeopardize everything that matters to him-and will also endanger the safety of the world. "A juicy genre bending tale by a Silicon Valley insider..." "...a smart read filled with action, romance, and espionage ...that readers will think about long after they close the book."
