Adrian Bowers is a devout man. The first time James Clark, the CEO of SkyTech, meets him, Bowers suggests that they pause before their meal to thank their maker for it. But all in Bowers's life is not as it seems. Not only is he a cruel and violent husband, whose personal life is deeply immoral and often criminal, he is also engaged in an extraordinary plot to destroy the world's farming communities by forcing farmers to buy sterile seeds, a plot which will lead to unimaginable profits for the Magentis Corporation. Setting out to thwart him is a small group of likeable employees at SkyTech: Nate, the tech wizard; Sven, the brilliant, untraceable hacker; James, the serious and thoughtful boss; and Emily herself, whose growing passion for Nate accompanies them both as they follow Bowers through the complex cyber-labyrinths of his terrifying plans.
