Book Description:
Adam Cassidy is twenty-six and a low level employee at a high-tech corporation who hates his job. When he manipulates the system to do something nice for a friend, he finds himself charged with a crime. Corporate Security gives him a choice: prison—or become a spy in the headquarters of their chief competitor, Trion Systems. They train him and feed him inside information. Now at Trion, he’s a star, skyrocketing to the top. He finds he has talents he never knew he possessed. He’s rich, drives a Porsche, lives in a fabulous apartment, and works directly for the CEO. He’s dating the girl of his dreams. His life is perfect. All he has to do to keep it that way is betray everyone he cares about and everything he believes in. But when he tries to break off from his controllers, he finds himself in way over his head, where nothing is what it seems and no one can really be trusted. And then the REAL nightmare begins.....

Surprisingly good- a low man on the corporate totem pole allows himself to be drawn in to a high pressure and tense bit of corporate espionage. Along the way he learns he's not so bad a guy and maybe reaching the top IS what he wants- but is it worth the price?

This was such a cool book. It had me convinced I knew what was going on until the very end, and then swept me completely off my feet with surprise.

But it’s all just a mirage because Adam is about to learn that nothing is what it seems and this it isn’t paranoia…everyone is out to get him…
