Recruited as the key member of an elite federal computer-security team Van enters the labyrinthine trenches of the Washington intelligence community. His special genius is needed to debug the software glitch in America's most crucial KH-13 satellite capable of detecting terrorist hotbeds worldwide. But the problem is much deeper. Now Van must make the unlikely leap from scientist to spy team up with a ruthlessly resourceful ex-Special Forces commando and root out an unknown enemy --- one with access to a weapon of untold destructive power.
