About this title

Synopsis

Cheetah: The world's fastest and most powerful supercomputer - trained to pursue its program relentlessly . . . to terminate anything in its way. The brainchild of a father and son - heads of Lasercomp, the world's largest multinational. America has it. Russia has it. And an American journalist has been killed trying to expose its dark purpose . . . But Ed Graham, her lover, will carry on - caught between the C.I.A. the K.G.B. British intelligence, and a network of assassins . . . Because he alone knows the master plan: to create a puppet President of the United States. And Phase One is about to begin . . .
