Description

A computer fraud which goes several futuristic steps beyond equity funding... Every advance in technology expands human potential: actions gain larger scope, decisions become more significant, and men—some men—fall prey to ever more over-weening ambitions. When 21st century detective Harry Penny sets out to recover his client's investment in a multinational venture, he discovers the unexpected passion of a calculating woman and becomes lost in a labrinth of other men's ambitions; ambitions that affect the fate of millions, transcend religion, and are larger than life itself! The men who hold these ambitions are all strange and forceful figures, but Harry learns that one of them is even stranger than he seems: he is THE MAN RESPONSIBLE.
