Rate this book
An explosive new thriller!

When White House press journalist, Tom Miller, gets bumped in the street, he is injected with something that slowly grows inside him like a an experimental bio-bomb.

It’s inert… except for a long list of trigger effects that detonate it, all induced by the technological world around us.

All Miller has to do to survive is avoid everything

Except he’s discovered a list of other carriers… all headed towards a world summit. Now Miller is in a race against time – and the technological world - to stop the assassination and save his own life in the process...

If you love James Swallow, Three Days of the Condor or Eagle Eye, this is the tense action thriller for you!
