Exposure - Softcover

His works have been compared to those of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy. Now R. J. Pineiro turns to John Grisham's territory with a riveting new thriller. Pamela Sasser leads the quiet life of a professor at Louisiana State University, until her research uncovers a bug in the Perseus computer chip, which sits at the heart of thousands of commercial and military systems--from nuclear reactors to fighter jets. Billionaire Preston Sinclair, chairman of Microtel Corporation, the manufacturer of the Perseus, is at the pinnacle of his power, about to be elected president of the United States. Only Pamela Sasser knows about the bug in the Perseus, and only she knows that the lives of millions of Americans are at stake unless the bug is exposed. But Sinclair can't afford to let that happen, and he'll do anything to ensure that Pamela never has the chance to tell anyone else about the Perseus bug.
