Publisher's Synopsis
This Bisi day begins at midnight: Bitsi (Bisi), the world's premiere IT specialist is awakened and called in to handle a routine, if not ruthless cyber-attack and theft. Someone is stealing billions from BIG-AM-I, the planet's third largest organization. BIG-AM-I's IT specialists are clueless about where or how to investigate the problem. After decades of evolution, technology has advanced somewhat, but humankind, however, evolves at its own painstaking pace, and BIG-AM-I's employees are no exception, neither are the perpetrators. They're all focused on their own worlds, their egocentric goals, their subjective idea of success, and their own competitive need to win.
As news of the deadly exchange during the kidnapping of Lord-IT reaches The BITS Inspector's ears, events rapidly evolve into a horrific waking nightmare. Bitsi's greatest fear turns into stark reality that cannot be undone: death by Lord-IT's and Bitsi's own technologies, something they've strived for many decades to avoid at all costs. These world-leading technologies are highly protected, top-secret, and death in this manner should be an impossibility. How could this happen?
From a distance, the BITS Inspector and his security agents watch the thieves' snail-like progress, and all the events throughout the day--much to their distress, witnessing atrocities that leave the younger members of the team distraught. Just hours earlier, Bitsi's desk-bound auditors broke the rules and went into the field to bring to safety the victim of an attempted murder. Many others before her were not so fortunate.
The No. 1 Man has set the price of life painfully low before his condemnable ambitions. He's forgotten his good manners, dropped all scruples, and all sense of reason. Now, he's panicking his plan will fail. Tension rises among his company of technological thieves as they await the long-delayed breakthrough in the meticulously planned yet possibly flawed master-hack.
An unavoidably delicate plan to rescue the BITS Inspector's kidnapped business partner and best friend, Lord-IT wrenches at BITSI's emotions and brainpower. But he must plunge on.
Directed by Bitsi, Samson and Delilah pull in all their field agents and desk-bound auditors and battle against the clock to succeed in this unwelcome competition for power and money. Auditors sift through masses of information searching for all the clues. At double the speed of sound, in soup-ah-sonic jets, the field agents globe-hop from location to location investigating and preparing for the rescue and final confrontation.
The infamous clock is ticking... but when will it stop? No one knows.
