Chen and Owen meet as internists for a huge, prosperous corporation that is going places. They immediately connect and start putting together a project that will wow their superiors — and it does!

Chen has already met and fallen for a young woman far beyond his social and financial standing, not to speak of the fact that he's Chinese and she's not. Owens is only there to get away from his father, who owns that company and many more.

So two young men, quite opposite, so well portrayed. Chen, poor but determined and with great ideas. Owens, rich and smart, but hates it all because he can't live up to his father's expectations. While each is grateful to the other for their friendship, each manages to betray the other and then regret it.

In any case, we can't help turning the pages to find out what will happen. It's a story both exciting and thought-provoking, and if you love high tech machinations and twisty plots, this one is for you.
