With his new global operating system a reality, Alex Greenlee will soon be king of cyberspace, leaving Apple and Microsoft in the dust. Alex, his wife, Jennifer, and their son, Simon, live on a private island sanctuary near Seattle. Today Alex and Jennifer depart for Europe to partner with a major player. It's the deal of the century and his dream will give Alex enormous power. Eleven-year-old Simon remains on the island under the care of a housekeeper, a trusted associate, and the boy's summer camp counselor. Briliant Simon spends most days at his computer and resists every effort to wean him from the Web. His addiction to cyberspace has left little room in his young soul for love and compassion. Unknown to the Greenlees, sinister forces are at work on the island to right a long ago injustice. Caught in the middle is a young boy who is the key to unlocking the past. How far can Simon be bent before he breaks and opens the way to his father's downfall? Only when thrust into raw nature and fleeing for his life does Simon regain his capacity to feel real emotion and take decisive action.
