Speed death! Ross Schuyler is a star. He drives his racer across the Arizona desert, carrying black market computer chips–running a nightly gauntlet of government satellite tracking systems firing explosive, pulse-phase particle beams–to reach the safety and rewards of LA. His life story is being broadcast around the world, and he’s been heralded as the father of a newborn god. Then his microcomputer starts whispering warnings of conspiracy and doom–and sudden Schuyler must choose between the familiar dangers of the satellites and the perils of an all-seeing yet faceless enemy.
