For Agent X, tracking down his target was easy. Knowing who to trust was the hard part. And surviving the day could prove to be impossible... Back from a particularly difficult mission abroad and due for a vacation, Agent X reluctantly accepts an assignment closer to home. R.J. Sloane, CEO of the AskMe corporation, has asked the Agency for it's help in resolving what seems to be a matter of corporate blackmail. At stake is the reputation of an executive board member and a secret formula being developed within AskMe's walls. The Agent's mission - hunt down former board member and multi-millionaire Derek Slyrind. What at first seems like a straightforward case quickly turns into a deadly cat and mouse game with dire implications for both the hunted and the hunter. Agent X is a pulse-pounding thriller set in a near future Bay area, where the present day governments of the world have been replaced by the Agency...a powerful organization where only a few Agents execute the law.
