Publisher's Synopsis
LIZ CHARMING starts a new job as VP of Analytics at Glass Analytic Consulting. SEBASTIAN GLASS wants her to develop improved predictions because the Analytic Engine GAC uses is flawed. The analysis just provided to a criminal client, the leader of an African revolt, had massive forecasting errors.
Liz's new Analytic Engine prototype incorporates simultaneous equations and proves to be far more accurate. Sebastian sells the predictions to both legitimate and less-than-legitimate customers, including international terrorists, Mexican drug cartels and NY mob bosses.
Liz discovers that Sebastian used her AE to help optimally target a VX gas attack on manufacturing plants, killing thousands, and then profiting from the manipulated market. So, Liz steals the AE to stop Sebastian from using her work for any other illegal activity.
How can she fight an international corporate giant like Sebastian Glass? He has contacts and resources worldwide and will stop at nothing to get the AE back in time to carry out another attack.
