Synopsis: "The Firm" meets "The Net" in this riveting page-turner that takes readers to the source of our favorite paranoias--computers and conspiracies--and turns into an exciting tale of microprocessed murder, political power plays, and dangerous pursuit. THE FIRM meets THE NET in Daniel Oran's ULTERIOR MOTIVE. This gripping thriller explores the darkest regions of technology and politics. In a live TV appearance, Jack Malcolm -- billionaire chairman of Megasoft, the Seattle software giant -- is answering tough questions about his Presidential campaign when masked terrorists gun him down. Two weeks later, Jonathan Goodman -- an ambitious young Megasoft project manager -- takes a short cut through a company parking garage and becomes the only witness to a fellow employee's murder. Teaming up with Karen Grey -- a gutsy reporter who is willing to risk her reputation for a story -- Jon stumbles onto a shocking conspiracy. But dangerous men are desperate to stop them. And as they get closer to discovering the astonishing truth, they're suddenly running for their lives -- and running out of time. From its explosive opening to its stunning conclusion, ULTERIOR MOTIVE is totally riveting entertainment.
