An Earth shattering breakthrough in quantum computing and artificial intelligence becomes a weapon in the hands of the communist government in Beijing. The oppression they now exert over millions of innocent lives in Xinxiang and Tibet will spread to billions in the rest of the world.
Two young scientists, Rett, whose doctoral dissertation unknowingly led to the breakthrough, and Mari, daughter of the Chinese mastermind, are up against spies, assassins, terrorists, and two of the world's most powerful militaries, as they race to complete an open-source version of the breakthrough quantum superintelligence. Their greatest challenge: it has to be built in space. Their greatest distraction: their feelings for each other. The unanswered question: what will the world's first Artificial Superintelligence do when they build it?
Ride along with Rett and Mari on their harrowing journey across three continents and into low Earth orbit to save the world from the most dangerous regime of our time.
