Humankind survived its brush with extinction by a brutal, viral plague five hundred years ago. The foundations supporting this surprisingly swift recovery have been the Committee's global rule and the stabilizing protection offered by the heavily armored, airborne soldiers. Science has long been reviled as the cause of the viral catastrophe, and a powerful Code has suppressed any advances in all fields. The business world is competitive and well-supported by a two-class social system, with a small upper class controlling the lower-class masses. Beneath this comforting veneer of functionality, organized crime has gained a foothold, and secretive entities stir in the shadows with their own plans.
One man has seen it all and recognizes the growing threat emerging from the world's decadent and decaying stasis, but only the rare individuals possessing the Morgan-Jackson mutation, one of the plague's enduring genetic remnants, are physically and mentally capable of interacting with his powerful systems. Successfully melding user and technology, however, will require each member of his small group of select "Mojacs" to embrace a lifelong bond with their system. Each must make the Pact.
This science fiction/dystopian novel is the first in a series that chronicles a struggle for leadership of our future world and its society.
