              a science fiction thriller novel by David Orange 

"Very good. This imaginative novel has one of the most original plot concepts I've seen in years. The plot moves along like a Jpanese express train..." BookReview.com  1/10/08

Science fact: by 2030, neuro-technician scientists feel we will  be able to scan ourselves--our intelligence, personalities, feelings, and memories--into computers. Is this the beginning of Eternal Life?

One man, out of time, cannot wait.

Book description:

What kind of man is above the law, beyond suspicion, and madly briliiant?

Alexander Volga, a distinguished billionaire entrepreneur, veils himself in respectability,  hiding a murky lineage, a uniquely devious and sharp mind, and literally millions of destroyed lives. Believing he once lived as a deity in ancient Atlantis, he recreates the mythical land in Virtual Reality! Sensing storm clouds of retribution approaching, Alexander prepares for his last, best trick, an audacious attempt to have his mind live "on-line" after body death!

Sultry no-nonsense law enforcement officer Harriet O'Keefe finds herself dangerously close to falling for Alexander's lure, the most wanted and insidious man against whom she's ever matched wits as she races to topple his empire and ego.

With tensions mounting from all sides, and uncertain of where loyalty remains, Alexander, for the first time, sets a Machiavellian plan in motion unsure of its evil outcome. But his enemies had better check their life insurance policies, and Harriet O'Keefe, her heart.
