About this ebook

When nothing else makes sense, the impossible is all that’s left to believe.

Eric Söderqvist, a professor of computer science at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, has invented Mind Surf, a pioneering thought-control system that allows people with disabilities to browse the web.

Meanwhile, Lebanese Samir Mustaf, a former MIT professor whose beloved daughter Mona was killed by a cluster bomb, has just finished creating the most sophisticated computer virus the world has ever seen, for the purpose of launching a devastating cyber attack on Israel’s financial system.

When Eric’s wife, Hanna, falls into a coma — after having tested her husband’s invention — the doctors are at a loss. Eric, guilt-stricken and distraught, fixes on the unthinkable, becoming convinced that his wife has been infected by a powerful computer virus, and that the only way he can save her life is by tracking down its creator.

What follows is a compelling and high-octane pursuit that spans the Middle East and Europe. Conceptually breathtaking and emotionally compelling, Mona is a story about the good — and the evil — that people are prepared to do in order to save or avenge the ones they love.

Author

Dan T. Sehlberg

Dan Sehlberg was born in 1969. He began studying classical piano at the age of eight, and later became part of the rock band Nova, which recorded an album and played at several Swedish music festivals and clubs in the mid-1980s. Dan has also composed and recorded music for film and multimedia projects. Dan holds an MBA from the Stockholm School of Economics, and currently works as a partner and financial officer in a Swedish real-estate firm. As an entrepreneur, Dan has launched companies ranging from Sweden’s first travel-booking website to social-media ventures. Dan lives with his wife and two daughters in Stockholm, and retreats to the tranquillity of Sörmland, on the southeastern coast of Sweden, to work on his books. Mona is his first novel, and will be followed by its sequel, Sinon.
