A young management accountant, Joshua joins a UK based software company that is a world leader in Artificial Intelligence software. He soon discovers the company has huge cash balances far larger than it should have for a business its size. He discovers that his predecessor died in mysterious circumstances after making inquiries about the company's large cash balances. He later discovers that the company is selling top secret software to the Chinese government which can be used to access international bank accounts, communications satellites, and satellite weapons. The National Crime Agency contacted him as they received a tip-off from someone who helped Joshua investigate several company employees and a Chinese customer. Soon afterward the man supplying the tip-off is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Two company directors fly to Singapore to meet the Chinese buyers to sell the illegal software and are followed by a team of MI6 agents who want to intercept the sale. One director manages to escape and is eventually followed halfway around the world. The Chinese use the software with varying degrees of success to try and help North Korea, their allies, and also to attack India, their enemies. The software is called Space Magpie as it can take control of satellite weapons systems. The story follows the action around the world as software is sold, used, and a military target is destroyed. Will the MI6 be successful in stopping the Chinese or will their goals be achieved and the imperialist west dealt a severe number of blows? The action moves around the world and involves the CIA and US government in a tale of modern-day high-tech espionage.
