Morgan Sullivan is a computer geek hired by a secretive organization, Digicorp, to ferret out the secrets of their competitor, Sunways Systems.
In order to be convincing, and pass all the tests that Sunways employs, Morgan Sullivan is transformed into a cypher, a man who is and can be anything he wants to be.

Digicorp told him he could put his own spin on the character--and so he did, adding cigarettes, golf, and single malt Scotch on the rocks to his habits.
What was Thursby to do? Thursby's assignment was to spy on Digicorp's rival, Sunways. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell his wife about what he was doing or his job.
On his first assignment, ... Read More
