โฆ Synopsis
Experimental physicist Ted Sandstrom has invented a means to generate
and store vasts amounts of power with a small quantum energy device.
This cutting-edge technology promises to spark the birth of a new
industry or, if placed in the wrong hands, devastate entire segments of
the world economy. Nolan Kilkenny takes on the job of transferring
Sandstroms research into the industrialized world. Victor Orlov, the
most powerful and deadly oligarch in Russia, learns of the device and
sends his own private army to kill Sandstrom and steal the quantum
technology. Aided by an elite team of specialists, Kilkenny will stop at
nothing to bring Orlov down, and put an end to the Russians plans for a
global economic empire.
