The team broke for lunch on the stoep of the gracious old mansion which had been built in the early 1700s – not that old by European standards but, considering the history of white settlers in the Cape had only started in the 1500s, this homestead was one of the earliest of the distinctive Cape […]
After they had completely recovered from the ordeal of their plastic surgery, Andrew thought back on events since they had arrived in Cape Town. Jauncey as usual had been super careful about preserving their new identities. On the young couple’s initial visit to Dr. Eisenstadt’s clinic in the middle of Cape Town, they had emerged […]
Author’s note: Up to this point, “Tech Wars” has been a work of pure fiction, loosely based on the kind of criminal activities that have evolved with the development of the Internet. I will shortly introduce a genuine and far-advanced computing system that will pose major barriers for the criminals. Any information on this system […]
Zoltan figured that the Prof’s tough guy, Brett, must have moved on to another assignment. He was completely off the radar. Nor was there any hint of the launch of the Supply Chain program the Professor had developed. The Hungarian debated whether it was still worthwhile trying to steal the technology.

Johansen smiled. They were smart but not that smart. His team had come back with the story about chasing the phones to obscure parts of Long Island. The SIM cards were missing from both phones. It was a dead end. However, Johansen was pretty sure that Brett had not realized that his name had been […]
Johansen was growing increasingly frustrated. Once they had established that the O’Reilly girl was looking into the affairs of his bosses, he had gotten his operatives to probe into her private life. They established she was living with a man called Brett Gibson in a Greenwich Village apartment. Johansen’s team had carefully broken into the […]
Brett stared out of the window. Seagulls were wheeling around above the yacht basin. For a moment he wondered whether he would have preferred the less complex life of a bird … but quickly decided that his current incarnation was pretty satisfying – if only he could convince the woman he loved that a life […]
Arthur Erskine was worried. Over the past weeks he had grown to trust Brett but now the man had gone to ground. He did not answer his phone or email and the Professor had no current address for him. He hoped the young man was all right and had not been harmed or even killed […]
