System Seven

A secret file is stolen by a member of an elite corps of hackers seeking high resell material. The theft triggers the response of a system of authority like none he's conceived, a system that wants the file back. Desperate, the hacker copies the file to an unsuspecting netadmin half a world away, drawing him into danger and the free fall of pursuit. Dodging the hammer throws of an enemy with unconfined power, convention quickly becomes liability... and the extraordinary becomes reality in a world gone strange. From tiny villages in the Netherlands to the sprawling streets of Tokyo and L.A. to the innerscape of their own minds, danger and opportunity blend in an irresistible challenge: to end a cycle of injustice and imbalance begun long, long ago. What starts as the ultimate hack sets into play a chain reaction with dire global consequences. System Seven is a story of technology, thoughts, dreams, and that which mysteriously binds them. It's about those in control and those under control, about the culture of belief and what happens when we are forced to challenge it. It introduces people living and breathing in a world cast as shallow yet with depths that reveal the fantastic.
