It was only a prank: diverting cash from Wyatt Telecom's executive slush fund to throw a retirement bash for a member of the loading dock crew. But when corporate security catches up with Adam Cassidy, a low ambition junior staffer at the high-tech behemoth, they call it something else: embezzlement, to the tune of nearly $80 grand.

Ruthless CEO Nick Wyatt is impressed by Adam's scheming, and offers him one way out-take on the role of a rising corporate hotshot and infiltrate Wyatt's rival, Trion Systems. His mission is to get close to Trion's legendary founder Jock Goddard, and his ultra-secret "Project Aurora," and report back to Wyatt.

With Wyatt pulling the strings and a dramatically improved identity, Adam is set up as Trion's new boy genius. Suddenly, he's got a sweet new Porsche, a closet full of $1,500 suits, and even a lovely lady who thinks he's a dream. But it's all just a mirage, because Adam is about to learn that nothing is what it seems and that it isn't paranoia...everyone is out to get him...

    Well written and fast paced, every page demands to be turned. Straddling the "Crichton" line nicely, the science is real without being overly complicated, a book (partially) about geeks which is readily accessible by geeks and those who have know idea what an optical chip even is...

    In the main though, this is a thought provoking thriller based around corporate Americas greed and dirty tricks, and with a smart sensible ending this one sticks in the mind.

  • I hated this main character so much that it took a while to realize I also did not like the incredible amount of tedious detail included in this book. Blah. Just kept reading to find out what sort of horrible punishment this jerk gets - and was even disappointed there.
