About this book

From the back cover:

Laura Webster's on the fast track to success. A bright young star in a multinational conglomerate, she's living well in a post-millennial age of peace, prosperity, and profit.

In an age of advanced technology, information is the world's most precious commodity. Information *is* power. Data is locked in computers and carefully rationed through a global communications network. Full access is a privilege held by few.

Now, Laura Webster is about to be plunged into a netherworld of black-market data pirates, new-age mercenaries, high-tech voodoo... and murder.
