The Assassin Chip: A Tony Dantry Thriller - Paperback

by Richard Scott (Author)

Tony Dantry takes on his toughest challenge yet. A Nobel Prize-winning scientist in a federal research laboratory has successfully covered up his real activities for years. Then one day he saves an accident victim's life by pushing brain surgery to unheard of limits. In doing so he raises disturbing questions about how far science should go: Just because we can do something, should we? Technology aficionados will find robotics and microchip implants in this fast-paced harbinger of the all-too-near future. Motivated by his own personal agenda and an overwhelming thirst for power the scientist clandestinely creates a legion of activators and exerts previously unthinkable control over the actions of people in key positions. Nonstop action takes the reader from California to the Caribbean to Washington, DC as the scientist's procedures threaten the very foundations of Western democracy.
