Description Can two outcast detectives overcome a global surveillance state, solve a murder, and stop the release of a software programme designed to manipulate the human race and take over the levers of global control... forever? The terrifying reality is that the powerful elite of my youth set about driving a standardisation and equalisation of the global population. They did this, not for the betterment of the world, or to be the saviours of a planet in danger. That's just what they tell people. No, they did it for the greater prosperity of their own greedy desires. All to regain complete control of a world whose occupants had begun to see the outlines of the game board upon which they were being manoeuvred at the roll of the master's dice. Detectives Gary Johnson and Sharon Wilson are two of the very few Old Thinkers left in the world who believe in fair and open discourse and unbiased investigations. Assigned their first murder case, they must battle the captive minds of New Thinkers, all of whom are hell bent on steering them away from the objective truth to the one they much prefer, and somehow uncover the real perpetrators of this crime. When it turns out their fellow officers in the Global Police Service are actively working against them, Gaz and Shaz realise this isn't just a murder, but one part of a much bigger plan for global control. Virtually alone, and under constant surveillance, they must find a way to stay alive, solve the case, and save a world that's wilfully blind to the dangers all around it...
