The
story takes place in early 2008. It is a time
of great political unrest; people are living
in constant fear of terrorist attack and are
looking to the world leaders to take action.
Suspicion of local government runs high and conspiracy
rumours abound.
Mitchell Webb, CEO of IDSys, and his long-term
friend Simon Rockwell are on the brink of securing
a contract from Her Majesty’s Government
for the design, manufacture and supply of Radio
Frequency Identification Devices (RFIDs) for
the protection of the British Public against
terrorist attack. It would be the biggest deal
in their company’s relatively short history.
Shortly
after being awarded the contract, there is a
horrendous terrorist attack on one of
England’s most famous landmarks and the
Government passes legislation for the compulsory
introduction of RFIDs, bringing about a series
of events that draw Mitch and his colleagues
into the biggest conspiracy in history. Little
by little, they uncover some unsettling information
that makes them question the real motives behind
the introduction of RFIDs.
The friends soon find
themselves in a deadly race against time,
facing a powerful and ruthless
enemy, culminating in an astonishing discovery
about the very origins of life on Earth.
