This chilling technological thriller finds venture capitalist Ted Valmont belatedly informed that the chief technical officer of NeuroStimix-a biotech firm in which he has invested-is missing. Valmont engages August Riordan to assist in the search and the men soon discover that the disappearance is part of a larger conspiracy to use NeuroStimix technology for perverse applications. With black-and-white photographs that add a unique aspect to this genre, this book is a sardonic study of the post dot-com world of Silicon Valley and venture capital.Author Biography: Mark Coggins has worked for a number of Silicon Valley computer and venture capital firms. He is the author of The Immortal Game, which was nominated for the Shamus, Barry, and Independent Publisher mystery awards. He lives in San Francisco, California.Cory Johnson"If you laid all the boring Silicon Valley authors end-to-end it would be a good thing. But they still wouldn't amount to half the insight Coggins lays down in his adventurous novel. Fast cars, nymphomaniac rich kids, billionaires with short attention spans and long money: a truer picture of Silicon Valley can't be found. In a world transformed through technology-driven change, we need new heroes, a new James Bond—Ted Valmont is it."
