Joseph R. Garber byl americký autor, jehož díla se vyznačují pronikavým pohledem na korporátní svět a složitost lidské povahy. Jeho romány často zkoumají témata ambicí, etických dilemat a dopadů technologie na společnost. Garberův styl je charakteristický napínavým dějem a bystrými postřehy, které čtenáře vtáhnou do psychologicky propracovaných příběhů. Jeho psaní nabízí unikátní směs napětí a hlubšího zamyšlení nad moderním životem.

When American Interdyne Worldwide Inc. and its bumbling president, Brian Shawby, announce a planned corporate takeover of the nation's second largest computer company, PegaSys Inc., CEO Scott C. Thatcher believes the attempt will be a laughable failure. But there are other forces at work -- most importantly a Japanese businessman still bitter over WW II and eager to gain a foothold in the American computer industry -- and PegaSys is soon in real danger of being lost. Heading up the defense team are corporate hot shots Mike Ash and Louise Bowman, who are also secretly in lust and perhaps even in love, struggling to hide their affair from the straitlaced Thatcher as they try to save his company. Adding to PegaSys' troubles is a mysterious computer hacker known only as Wintergreen, who seems able to penetrate any security system
