Luke Jennings sits at his computer screen, fingers flying across keys as he penetrates another supposedly impregnable defense system. At eighteen, his mind works faster than the most advanced security networks across the globe. He can manipulate smart missiles, stealth submarines, and AI programs with equal ease. Intelligence agencies worldwide suddenly realize they face a new kind of threat. Luke possesses the ability to turn any nation's weaponry against itself. Multiple superpowers launch desperate operations to capture or eliminate him before their enemies can recruit him first. Luke finds himself hunted across continents by professionals who understand his value better than he does. Every government wants to control him. None can afford to let their rivals have him. As pursuit closes in from all sides, Luke must navigate a deadly game where his brilliant mind is both his greatest asset and his death sentence. The balance of world power hangs on whether he falls into the right hands or the wrong ones.
