A promising new technology generates interactive digital copies of deceased humans and sets off a world-altering conflict between the USA and Russia. The Unbroken Line introduces the simcon, or simulated conscience, a data application, using the entire digital record of your existence to recreate a life-like hologram that can interact with living people. But could U.S. President Arturo Solar's decision to illegally generate his deceased daughter’s simcon have triggered an act of war with the Russians?

When the powerful new simcon app is suspected of tipping the balance of geopolitical power, Kadie Laltanca and the global technology team at U.N. Special Command must determine if a human or digital perpetrator is behind the chaos. Following the clues from Cape Canaveral to The Philippines to Brazil to Moscow, and back to the halls of Washington, the team uncovers old foes and new conflicts, as they search for a criminal they cannot see. As the battle intensifies and the clues turn the investigation around, law enforcement's archrival, rogue technologist Zylen Blain fights to keep his freedom, technological superiority, and the love of his life, from the rapidly approaching Global Intelligence agents. In a world where humans have not realized that they are no longer thinking, but only reacting, to mandated commands of an interlocked communication Network, warring techies go head-to-head online in a race to outpace one another for digital domination. But neither side can envision how the unpredictable actions of the auto-programming Network will force extraordinarily real human responses in a world of complacent digital control.

The Unbroken Line is an international investigation from earth to outer space, balancing unauthorized alliances between rogues technologists and Intelligence agents in exotic locations, where answers are elusive and romantic conflicts omnipresent. Welcome to the near future and the battle for humanity’s survival.
