Cords of the Ascendant

He didn't know he could hate another person so completely.
Revenge is within reach.
Then something goes wrong.

After covertly implanting a nanochip into the newly elected U.S. President, Maxwell Charles detects a glitch in the device. What was intended to be a simple electronic connection manifests into a psychic link between Maxwell and the head of state.

Maxwell soon finds himself wondering whose face he will see in the mirror the next time he looks. Can the president see him too? Is he being influenced by the subject of his own invention?

As he races to sever the psychic link, Maxwell soon discovers that he is one among many who wish to control the president. Someone close to the Commander-in-chief also has an interest in the business of mind manipulation. Now they're tracking Maxwell, the formula for this new technology, and its potential for unlimited power.

Has Maxwell orchestrated his own demise?
