Emma Lee Davis must delve deep into the past to find a weapon to end the Infowar that threatens to de-stabilize a computer-dependent global economy. Project manager of a tiny firm of cyber-sleuths, Emma scrambles to make the connections between a body washing up on a beach in Singapore, and the technical derring-do at a German university. She tracks a desperate hacker planning a unique software auction, a determined entrepreneur who will stop at nothing to acquire 'bleeding edge' software and tumbles onto a new generation of terrorists with their own agenda.
