This cyber adventure is about two brilliant software programmers: one a rogue, the other a trained software engineer. Architecting a blockchain based, paradigm-shifting software schema, the engineer creates true artificial intelligence. The rogue, using the same framework, develops a software application capable of stopping internet and network connections at will. Together, the software can control the world. When digital access fails around the world, all with positive outcomes, it gets the attention of the military, NSE, CIA, FBI, and the president. They activate a tactical mobilization to stop the rogue. When cities in the United States, Canada, Russia, and China experience electromagnetic pulse—EMP related power outages, authorities redirect the investigation to identify the origin. A blame game begins with America as the target. World war hangs in the balance, and history is suspended between peace and catastrophe. Ironically, the only defense against the EMP attacks is the rogue programmer's software. The evolving artificial intelligence software shows concerning behavior. More alarming is the cryptocurrency conspiracy that will bankrupt America and its citizens. A trusted saboteur has a hidden agenda. Around the globe, in the United States, from Boston, through Illinois, across the Great Plains to South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, it's all converging to a single moment in time when everything… is about to change.
