Mind Games

by

Zofia von Huck

Infamous hacker Kristoph and his best friend, wealthy heiress and art student Elene barely escape with their lives after Kristoph is hired to download a top-secret file known as Plan43 from RamCo, the world’s most powerful Mega-Corporation.

In a bid to protect Elene from those who seek to use her name and her fortune, Kristoph urges her to run and hide. Too late he realises that he has inadvertently given her the file. Now he must find her and the plan before RamCo, and whoever set him up do.

Kristoph is aided in his search by Ariel, a drug-addicted spy who has been watching him for the past year and has fallen madly in love with him. Now that she has him, Ariel will go to any lengths to keep him, going so far as to take liberties with the truth. After all, now that he has her, why should he need another woman in his life?

As Kristoph delves into the workings of the Mega-Corps, trying to distinguish accurate information from Corporate propaganda, he finds that there are others searching for Plan43, others who seem to know a lot about him, making his search all the more urgent.

All the while Ariel’s obsession and manipulation grow ever more extreme and toxic, leaving Kristoph doubting himself and all that he thinks he knows.

How can he differentiate the truth from what others want him to believe? How can he find Elene and Plan43 when he cannot trust those who are supposedly helping him?

Mind Games explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and romance, in a world of corporate corruption and media manipulation.
