    About this ebook

    In its off-line data vault in Vienna, the biotech company Katalysis hid a gene therapy technology that could cure diseases and remake people into strange new forms. Could two young American hackers, and a jaded European agent, work together to penetrate the company's vault and release that new technology to the world?

      The coffeehouse door swung open on creaking hinges, and in walked a lone man silhouetted by sunlight reflected off a bus window on Kärtnerstrasse.  That must be him, Chris said.

      Elena looked closer.  He stood five-ten, and short brown hair receded from his high forehead.  He wore a blue plaid three-piece suit and carried a leather briefcase.  The angle of his cheekbones and the cut of his lapel marked him as European.  He walked up and asked, in English with a flat German accent, You are the Van Pelts?

      Schultz, the middleman, had assigned them that codename.  Elena spoke.  Yes.  Herr Schroeder?

      Wrinkles radiated from his eyes, and creases crossed his forehead.  Call me Hartmut. 

      I’m Chris.  They shook hands.

      Elena, she said, and raised her hand. 

      Rather than shake it, Hartmut turned her hand over and kissed it.  A beautiful name, Elena.

      She blinked.  My great-grandmother’s.  When had she last heard something like that?

      Sit, Chris said, his eyebrows lower. 

      A waitress, this one with orange hair and spider tattoos on her cheeks, came up to take Hartmut’s order.  Their dialects clashed for a few seconds, until he ordered in English.  She bustled away.

      Hartmut asked, You arrived yesterday?

      Chris nodded.  We’ve already gotten to work.  This morning I nosed around the internal network at Katalys--

      Shh!
