One man holds the key to exposing deceit and treachery at the highest level of the nation. He must work alone and trust nobody. But there's a problem. He's just been executed... Stanley Salmons weaves a dark near-future story that is as intriguing as it is original. A Special Forces soldier wakes up temporarily paralysed in a prison hospital, with no memory of how he got there. A Professor at M.I.T. renowned for his expertise in quantum computing is dying from a peripheral nerve disease. The lives of these two will be intimately linked in a near-future story involving military action in Africa and set against the backdrop of a U.S. Presidential election.
