Johannsen was beside himself with fury. Not only had he lost more good men but they were no nearer to eliminating Brett and Sandy or whatever they were called now. He was also confused. Where had the other armed men come from? What little data he had gleaned was supplied by the wheelman waiting in […]
After having visited twelve cafés and restaurants, Johannsen’s men struck it lucky on the thirteenth. Although Americans had visited the other places, none answered the sparse general description that the searching men had been given. There were old American couples, a husband and wife with four children, a young surfer on his own and so […]
Zoltan considered his options. Professor Arthur Erskine and the girl were either hiding out somewhere in Phoenix, possibly driving to another destination or maybe flying in another plane to their final destination. Of the three, he felt he had the best chance with another plane, providing they hadn’t boarded a regular commercial jet. He had […]
“Damn!” Arthur read the article dismayed. He had been so careful not to reveal what he had been working on to the media. Despite this, Amanda had just brought him a copy of a prestigious business journal. He had read it with growing horror. Somehow a journalist had gotten wind of his development of the […]
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 […]

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. On the balance of […]
Arthur stared gloomily at the magnificent scenery surrounding his Alaskan home. Looking out from his bedroom on the first floor, the towering snow-capped mountains on the horizon were bathed in the soft pinks of the early morning sun. Normally, it would have lifted his spirits but after a sleepless night worrying about his new program […]
There wasn’t much the youth could tell them. A man had given him a hundred dollars, handed him a hotel pageboy uniform and the parcel. He was instructed to place the gift on the table where Brett Gibson and his lady were sitting and say it was from the hotel manager. He had insisted that […]
