Description

A new supercomputer spells doom for Taiwan
Amid the explosion of computer technology in the 1990s, nothing comes close to Apogee a software program able to process human speech in any language, paving the way for pilotless planes, driverless tanks and a global communications network limited only by human imagination.

China, soon to resume control of Hong Kong, is now obsessed with an even greater prize in its long march to Pacific supremacy: Taiwan. The outcome is not in doubt, as long as China can secure Apogee but there's a problem. The software belongs to Ducannon Young Electronics in Taiwan where Mat Young, son of owner Simon, represents his autocratic father. Simon sees little beyond the limitless profits Apogee will generate, but his less hard-boiled son has become embroiled with a Taiwanese actress whose loyalties are hard to read.

All sides will go to any lengths to get inside Mat's head, convinced that his unique position must give him access to Apogee's secrets. But Mat knows nothing, and not even the horrors of the torture chamber known to history as the Gates of Exquisite View can change that...

A chilling high-stakes technothriller from 'the heir-apparent to Le Carr', perfect for fans of Robert Ludlum and Martin Cruz Smith.

Praise for The Gates of Exquisite View

'There is rarely a moment to pause for breath between the agonizingly suspenseful events in a thriller that is worthy of its genre' Publishers Weekly
