Apocalypse Prelude

Dale Trent is a private corporate crime investigator. Dragged at short notice to the USA, his case is the murder of an important scientist and the disappearance of close colleagues. It appears to straight-forward industrial espionage.
He expects E-mails, mind-numbing audit trails, interviews with disgruntled ex-employees and a mole from a rival corporation attempting to steal valuable trade secrets.
He doesn't expec to end up in an American wilderness with a rifle and head full of suspicions trying to hunt down a computer genius who's cracked a technological breakthrough that in the wrong hands will lead to Armageddon. And he doesn't like the fact he's got various national governments' agencies, international organised crime gangs and worldwide conglomerate mercenaries trying to kill him before he does.
