It's the future. Jordan O'Blenis may be a genius when it comes to computers, but with spies after his sister Cassie's research in UAVs and artificial intelli--gence, he needs all the help he can get to keep her safe and save BWB Aero--space's top secret drone project.

The problem is, Helen thinks kidnapping and interrogating a government agent is a perfectly logical solution to their problems, while Cassandra has developed a bad case of ethics. When old enemies snatch Jordan, though, it's up to Cassan--dra to save the day, even if that means hijacking BWB's multi-million dollar UAV system. It's just borrowing, really...
