Troubleshooting unusual activity on the company’s servers plunges Robert into a high-stakes game of cyber espionage, mayhem, and murder …New guy Robert Dulaney would have been content spending his time at the office daydreaming about craft brews and baseball, but strange events begin unfolding during his second week on the job. His employer, Advanced Research Technologies, is racing to beat foreign competitors to market with their solar power storage prototype. They have potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to gain—and, as it turns out, everything to lose. As the day for testing the prototype rapidly approaches, the danger to those involved in the project increases. Robert is forced to leave his lighthearted life behind and focus on protecting the prototype—and keeping himself alive.

Every day in the country of Ryszard the Taboo is spoken; the Taboo which is never spoken.Within the Kingdom of Ryszard and in the surrounding countries many people believe that Prophesies will guide them. But some Prophesies are incomplete. A single line has become a taboo, a catchphrase, or a child rhyme. Prophesies from different areas are sometimes at odds with one another. The full texts of the original prophecies, and therefore their true meanings, have been lost to time.It is the responsibility of all parents to pass the Taboo on to their children. It is done on the child’s birthday. Which birthday it begins is at the discretion of the parents. The child must be old enough to understand the seriousness of the Taboo but young enough to be indoctrinated. The Taboo is only one line; 7 words. Watch for the Maker of Small Magics.When the parents tell their children the words of the Taboo, they are cautioned never to repeat it except to their own children when the time comes. The children must come to know that the Maker of Small Magics will bring Evil, will cause Evil, is Evil. After the first telling the Taboo is spoken to each child on each birthday until that child comes of age at eighteen years. Every day is someone’s birthday. Every day in the country of Ryszard the Taboo is spoken; the Taboo which is never spoken.

Inventor, Writer, Statesman, Military Leader…Businessman You are holding the only modern adaptation of Benjamin Franklin's 18th century autobiography. It is at its heart one of the greatest business stories ever told. “Franklin's autobiography is America's first great self-help book. It teaches in a delightful way how to win friends, influence people and succeed in business. Professor McCormick makes this great work more accessible and adds his own insights.” -Walter Isaacson, author, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life “Anyone who's got the bug and drive to become a great leader and innovator can only be inspired by the life of Benjamin Franklin, who quite literally wrote the book for getting the most out of himself and brining out the best in others. His genius - scientific, entrepreneurial, diplomatic, and literary - was sui generis. His Autobiography is a classic of Americn letters, and he emerges from the pages of Professor McCormick's version not only as our contemporary, but also as a 21st century visionary, not to mention a wise companion.” -Dr. Judith Rodin, President Emerita, The University of Pennsylvania, President, The Rockefeller Foundation “Statesman and inventor are the first images that come to mind when we think of Benjamin Franklin, but as his autobiography will remind us, he was also a very successful entrepreneur and a most fascinating individual. Dr. McCormick brings the story of Franklin's entrepreneurial spirit alive for today's audience in his adaptation of Franklin's autobiography.” -United States Congressman Michael N. Castle (Delaware) Fifth Generation Franklin Descendant
