I really found myself lost in this book. I think I got the main jist of it--There was a lot of technical goings on amidst international computer sabotage. People went missing and were ultimately saved. There were a couple of romances going on--and a very happy ending for at least one of the couples.
The ending kind of frightened me--but I can't tell you why!
