Summary

Jon Hersey would never have met Paul Tyler if it was not for his soul mate, Alissa. As a successful business analyst with a reputation for saving deals from disaster, Jon is content working for Paul's company, Biz Planners LLC. But when Alissa suddenly dies from cancer, Jon feels very alone. A few months later, as he waits for a flight to Dallas in a concourse coffee bar, Jon knows he needs something new, fresh, and exciting to provide relief from the agony of Alissa's death. When business consultant, Daryl Alexander, sits next to him and strikes up a conversation, Jon begins to think that maybe his wish has been granted. Jon soon discovers that his talent and Navy SEAL training has made him an attractive candidate for Daryl's employer, Zeta Consulting Group, a secret organization known to only six people. As it turns out, Zeta Consulting Group knows more about Jon than he ever imagined. In this suspense-filled thriller, a lonely widower looking for excitement gets more than he bargained for as he is unwittingly propelled into a web of corporate espionage and a dangerous battle against terrorism.

Excerpts

Jon has the window seat and Daryl the aisle seat. Both grab a couple file folders before placing their computer bags in the overhead. The flight attendant returns with their drinks. Daryl's folders have the Zeta Consulting Group logo ... Jon has no logo on his mass produced plain manila folders. Jon is almost certain he saw the letters JH on the bottom folder before Daryl placed them in the seat pocket. Jon's sixth sense is tingling - several happenstance meetings, and beers, with a new friend, - first class upgrade next to new friend, - the folder with JH, - did Daryl say he arranged the upgrade, ... Jon's mind begins separating the critical from the nonsense. At 10,000 feet the flight attendant announces the personal use of electronic devices has been approved by the pilot. The entertainment portion of the flight is Daryl's queue - most of the passengers will be in their own e-cocoon. - Jon, I arranged our first couple meetings to get to know you, and this first class upgrade to see if you might be interested in a new job. We, Zeta, have been interested in you for 28 months and put your 'recruiting' on hold so you could focus on Alissa . - How do you know about Alissa? Why is Zeta interested in me? - I have two files for you to review - one about Zeta, - the other explains ... why you. If after you read these two files, you are not interested, you can decline and never hear from Zeta again. - How do you know about Alissa? - Jon ... it's all in the files. Please trust me. The files explain everything .
