Description:

This novel by Linda Sargent, an Indianapolis lawyer, tells the story of George Maxwell, young CEO of a large international bank, Global Financial.

After his and two other mega-banks face financial chaos when a truck with sensitive computer data is hijacked, bank customers demand indemnification and tighter security from the banks.

In an effort to address the issue, Maxwell convinces his board of directors to approve the use of a computer chip, embedded in customers' right hands, for account access and transactions.

While protesters campaign against this move, Maxwell is forced to examine his own choices and priorities. Now he must choose. If he makes the wrong decision, is he damned forever?

Linda Sargent hopes this novel warns and provokes its readers to be diligent and carefully consider any service or technology, including a national identification card that is required in order to obtain a passport, drive a car, or transact business.
