Months before Jessie thinks ARTIE is ready for use on human beings, her department head uses it in a high-profile case and nets immediate worldwide attention. The publicity reaches one of the most malevolent men on earth. Claude Malloche. Willing to bring down world leaders or a jetliner filled with people, if the price is right, he is also ill with a life-threatening brain tumor. For thos caught on the neurosurgical floor, the nightmare has just begun. In brain surgery, there are no guarantees; but that's exactly what Malloche demands. Jessie faces the most harrowing case of her life. And the price of failure may be thousands of lives." "Probably not the book to be reading when you've got a slight headache." (Publishers Weekly)" [from back cover of case]
