A SMALL CADRE OF INSURGENTS VS. THE SHADOWS OF GLOBAL FINANCIAL POWER. TO DETERMINE WHO WINS, EVERY 1 MUST MAKE A CHOICE. Friday December 1st at 1pm, Wall Street traders see their screens scramble into uselessness for 1 minute. At 2pm for 2 minutes. At 3pm for 3 minutes. Frightened investors expect the worst at 4pm when the Market closes. An uneasy state of dread ripples through the business world. Is it a protest prank, a terrorist attack, or a system fault? Hardly anyone considers it's a sophisticated test with a covert agenda. Very few suspect how insider power will dominate unless it's stopped. Adam Perez is a young Wall Street financial technologist with a future. Nelson Geiss is a semi-retired private intelligence contractor with a past. They have little in common and no reason to trust each other but the gathering crisis forces them to work together. Time is running out to get the facts and stay alive. Going deeper, a common cause unites them. 1 thing must be gotten right. They have until New Year's Eve to avert a global transformation that only conspiracy theorists would believe is possible. If they fail, the world might never know how much it has changed. THE DAY IS NEAR WHEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EASY SLAVERY OR A DIFFICULT FREEDOM COMES DOWN TO 1 KEYSTROKE. THE FINAL CONFLICT WILL BE SILENT, THE BATTLE LASTING ONLY 1 SECOND. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU ARE UNIQUE. YOU ARE THE 1.
