This story was totally fiction and the characters are fiction as well. Some of the material used in this book was gleaned from articles written about Osama Ben Laden; Afghanistan; the United States Marine Corps; the Kennedy Assassination; the gas attack on the Tokyo Subway system. A lot of the technical knowledge was taken from magazine articles and articles on the Internet. A great portion of the possible use of the computer for law enforcement was part of the writer's imagination. It remains to be seen if a lot of the technology mentioned in this story will come to fruition. The advances of computer technology in the last few years have been so astounding that it is hard to imagine what lies ahead for us. It could become a golden age and one that can promote peace to the world. It can be a boon to the Medical Profession as it already has. We could be heading for a civilization where we don't have to worry about crime or sickness or war. H G Wells wrote about time travel. Even that is not as implausible as it once was. When the writer was born, Space travel was talked of but no one thought that there would ever be a modern Buck Rogers. Who ever imagined that we would have six foot wide flat screen televisions broadcasting events all over the world and from outer space. So the Technology used by "Investicom" may not be so far fetched. Let's see.
