With billions in the bank and his own venture capital firm, he's succeeded beyond his Russian immigrant mother's wildest hopes. The only problem? A car accident that leaves Mike's mother with memory problems. A technology that can transform the world Brainocytes, a new technology developed by one of Mike's portfolio companies, may be the answer to his mother's injury-and offer applications that push the limits of the human mind. Only Mike isn't the only one who sees its potential. A ruthless enemy with a dark agenda When a routine hospital trial turns into a violent kidnapping, Mike is plunged into a criminal underworld darker than anything he could've imagined.
