review: Editorial Reviews Review Verified Purchase A complex mystery set in Silicon Valley's world of start-ups, venture capitalists and brilliant technicians. There are mysteries within mysteries. The story revolves around a revolutionary new system design that is totally disruptive to the market. Philippe Colbert, who claims authorship of the system design as is a recluse who has not cooperated in helping the staff of his start-up understand the system architecture and indeed, its functions. The company has reached the kind of milestone in its customer base that makes an IPO visible in the near future and are in the process of closing one of their biggest deals yet when Phillip dies unexpectedly, leaving the principals owning a very financially successful product that no one in the company understands. The CEO of Distributed Nanotech, Inc. (DNI) Susanne Anderson, brings in an independent outside specialist, James Forrest, to unravel the mystery of how the system works and what it does. The imminent issue is an upcoming user acceptance stress test that is expected to put more load on the system than has been tested by DNI and no one has any idea what the load limit of the system is. As if that weren't enough, the coroner reports that Phillip was murdered, poisoned in fact. Mr. Durbin weaves these mysteries together in a manner that draws you forward. The technical aspect is made quite accessible. I believe that is because the real technical aspects of this system are a mystery to the main characters as well. A very good read. venture capitalists and brilliant technicians.
