Synopsis: A computer virus infestation has thrown another company into chaos. Senior Investigator JJ McTavish and her partner are baffled by the case. However, Jason Starr and his game-company executives are pleased and have plans for dramatically more-ruthless attacks. Researchers in a commercial lab are using artificial intelligence techniques to enhance a new computer system. Without their knowledge, Version "Six" becomes substantially smarter than they expect. From then on, corporate life becomes distinctly unusual. While Jason Starr mercilessly uses violence and the Internet to pursue wealth and power, and JJ McTavish diligently tracks the source of the devastating viruses, neither realizes there is a third player in this deadly digital contest.
