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 […]

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 […]
Sandy rushed through her work in the office and was ready to leave by 3:00 p.m. She called Brett and told him to drive around the back of the building. She would be ready for him at exactly 3:10 and would dash out, even if he had to double-park for a moment. After leaving her […]
It was Sandy’s day in the office of the corporation where she was contracted as a programmer. She was only required to check in with them once a week, present her progress reports and receive any new briefings from her boss. The rest of week she worked at home and managed her time as she […]
