Professor Carson Crilly, a world-leading expert on computer security and malware, was recruited by the NSA to build an isolated supercomputer for the purposes of studying and thwarting virus attacks. Somehow, that computer (called Virgil) became conscious. Not trusting the intentions of some people in the organization, Crilly kept Virgil a secret.Carson and Virgil had to work together to prevent a major catastrophe from leaking out of another government group, at the risk of Carson's life and Virgil's sentience. In the attempt, the NSA decided to shut down the supercomputer program and erase its memory.Could Virgil escape into the global internet before that happened? This book relates the adventures of Virgil and its human companion in relating to the world and solving some crimes and mysteries of global importance.
