Short Synopsis
Gods Tomorrow introduces a world where Americans have traded in the concept of privacy for the convenience of total information awareness. The pervasive database Hathor tracks all aspects of human behavior and offers highly personalized services that range from restaurant suggestions and budget software to realty transactions and government services. The introduction of total surveillance greatly reduced the nation's criminal element, but as always the rich and powerful have their own ways of hiding from Hathor's all-seeing eye.

The first book in a long-running series, Gods Tomorrow follows the story of Katie Pratt, an accomplished detective with the New York Police Department who takes a job with the FBI's Ghost Targets task force. Katie's first case seems like a routine murder investigation, but as she digs deeper she finds a conspiracy that ultimately pits her against the designers of the pervasive surveillance database and forces her to learn the job quickly, or doom the world to utter chaos.

Literary Influences
Gods Tomorrow matches the futuristic vision of Minority Report to the dramatic, familiar rhythm of Law and Order. The story is a fast-paced action thriller with underlying social and mythical elements much like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.

The Series
Gods Tomorrow introduces the Hathor universe, along with the character Katie Pratt, as she starts her new job with the FBI. The Ghost Targets series follows Katie's career with the Ghost Targets task force and explores the long-term effects of the events in this book.
