"Calley can crack any computer security system ever created. Berg's specialty is unbreakable systems. They used to be married. Now they're both being employed by Nakamura-Norton, Earth's most powerful corporation. By Nakamura, anyway. Bill Norton, creative genius, is all but dead. Somehow, his mind has been transferred into the computer metamatrix, and he's bringing Double-En's business empire crashing down about Shag Nakamura's head. At the same time, he seems to be taking out his temper on Shag's employees, fatally. And his hit-list now includes Calley and Berg...

"In a cool, deadly world that could exist in a couple of LCD flashes, Calley and Berg fight for their lives, inside and outside the matrix that controls the existence of billion". [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1989]
