Chapter 1

At 6'4", Connor Sterling was a commanding figure; not just for his powerful influence in the technology sphere, but for his physical presence. Amidst the sparkling Silicon Valley skyline viewed from the top floor of Sterling Tech's headquarters, his jet-black hair and chiseled face made him stand out.

Members of the executive leadership team sat nervously as Connor inspected the data flashing across the large display.
