SHE’S A TECH GENIUS. But unless she can invent a daring rescue, her soulmate will die.
Toronto, 2032 in a subtly alternate reality. Innovator Athena Cartwright wants to change the world with her self-charging coms device. But her focus shifts when her life-partner and oil company CEO leaves on an emergency trip to a stricken rig off the African coast. And when she learns the worst has happened, she takes matters into her own hands to save him.
With everyone from the catastrophe presumed dead, Athena is furious the authorities refuse to take further action. But her partner carries one of her prototypes… and he’s just called. Though bringing him back alive will pit her against corrupt governments, greedy conspirators, and deadly high-seas pirates.
Can Athena’s daring strategy outwit global foes who want him dead?
