A fiery explosion at the Pasteur Institute in Paris claims the life of Emile Chambord, a key figure in the race to develop a DNA computer. Unfortunately, his crucial research notes are lost in the chaos. The scientific community anticipates that a workable DNA computer is still years away. However, a sudden disappearance of U.S. fighter jets from radar and widespread utility and telecommunications failures suggest otherwise. Washington downplays the situation, attributing it to a hacker, but the scale of disruption points to something far more powerful.

As he follows a trail across two continents, Smith discovers a web of deception that threatens to reshape the world, revealing the true potential of the DNA computer and the dangers it poses.
