In 2010, the FBI’s elite Net Force battles a deadly new designer drug being sold online for a thousand dollars a capsule. The potent blend of smart drugs, psychedelics, PCP, and steroids turns users into aggressive, hypercharged predators, sparking a wave of violence. As the black-market syndicate behind it exploits the global net and virtual-reality channels, Net Force races to trace the source, shut down the cyber-distribution network, and stop a conspiracy that merges bioengineering, organized crime, and high-tech warfare.
