Hammerjack

In a future society of virtual reality junkies and increasingly sophisticated computer technology, a hammerjack is a savvy superhacker capable of siphoning secrets from the most heavily protected corporate networks. Cray Alden is a former hammerjack turned investigator for a multicorporate entity known as the Collective, and his targets are his former partners in crime. After a hazardous assignment in which he nearly loses his life to a genetically enhanced female felon, Cray stumbles on a plot to unleash a biological supercomputer that will shift the balance of power from man to machine.
