Cyberthugs want Big Data to dictate your destiny.
Mathematical genius, Gretchen, creates a formula to dynamically aggregate today's events to accurately forecast tomorrow's outcomes. She uses global resources to gather, correlate, and analyze vast amounts of data. The results identify ripples and patterns in the erratic river of human behavior. Her goal—to decide the future for mankind.
Leaders of the R-Group believe alarming events are engineered by multiple cyber weasels. One is adjusting oil and currency futures for their own ends. Another appears to use supercomputer predictions to destabilize Russian satellite nations. A technician at an Oak Ridge facility demonstrates an uncanny ability to play the stock market—until he turns up dead.
Jacob and Petra, with support from the cyber assassin technology solutions (CATS) team, are sent to neutralize these threats. A traitor lurks among the shadows of the CATS team bent on sabotage from within.
