Paranoia
Author: Joseph Finder
Desc: It was only a prank: diverting cash from Wyatt Telecom's executive slush fund to throw a retirement bash for a member of the loading dock crew. But when corporate security catches up with Adam Cassidy a low ambition junior staffer at the high-tech behemoth they call it something else: embezzlement to the tune of nearly $80 grand. Ruthless CEO Nick Wyatt is impressed by Adam's scheming and offers him one way out-take on the role of a rising corporate hotshot and infiltrate Wyatt's rival Trion Systems. His mission is to get close to Trion's legendary founder Jock Goddard and his ultra-secret "Project Aurora " and report back to Wyatt. With Wyatt pulling the strings and a dramatically improved identity Adam is set up as Trion's new boy genius. Suddenly he's got a sweet new Porsche a closet full of $1 500 suits and even a lovely lady who thinks he's a dream. But it's all just a mirage because Adam is about to learn that nothing is what it seems and that it isn't paranoia...everyone is out to get him...
