Description
Intriguing characters and plotlines intertwine in a
near-future political thriller drawing on contemporary world events and actual
growing technology contributing to a cyberwar in both reality and virtual
reality. When Lindsey, a young student in London, is rescued from a riot by
Chamza, a young woman from the Arab world, they begin a relationship based on
both fascination and convenience. Before she knows it, Lindsey is drawn into a
world of vast wealth and intrigue; her new friend seems to have ties to
political movements and revolutionaries throughout the Islamic world, but it is
not clear what their agenda might be, or where her great wealth comes from.
Could it be the fabled legendary lost treasure of Al-Qaeda, supposedly amassed
through insider trading prior to 9/11? Unbeknownst to either Lindsey or Chamza,
a set of US contractors, all veterans of war in Iraq and the CIA's rendition
program, are focusing their sites on Chamza, believing her wealth is indeed the
key to a larger threat to the entire world economy. The series looks at
surveillance, clandestine military action, and class warfare in the twilight of
the current War on Terror, all within the context of a thriller that ultimately
seeks to find out what controls the global economy.
