Patricians

Nothing is more desirable than power, but nothing is more offensive. Henry Williams founded Muse Industries to develop cybernetic implants designed to obsolete human frailty. Cybertechnology revolutionized the world, propelling the Williams family to the highest strata of society. Governments, businesses, and people demanded cybernetic implants with an insatiable thirst. Power breeds envy, creating silent enemies seeking to destroy the business magnate. In a world unable to enforce international laws, corporations wage a shadow war of espionage and sabotage. A failed attempt to abduct Henry's daughter, Julia, alerted him to a conspiracy against his company. Seven powerful families compete against the Williams expanding wealth and influence. Surrounded by enemies, Henry must discern friends from foes in order to protect his daughter. Business is warfare that ensures only the strong or cunning survive.
