One of Robert''s best stories so far! Todd Belknap, a field agent and Andrea Bancroft, a junior analyst meet under
the most unusual circumstances. Andrea is approached by the Bancroft Foundation to serve as one of their trustees. The Bancroft Foundation however, has very perculiar ways of forcing people to work with them.
While Andrea needs to make a decision which can change her life, Todd''s best friend, Jared, also a field agent, is
involved in an undercover operation. He is kidnapped while attending a meeting under his alias, and the goverment is pulling a blanket over this incident. Todd takes it onto himself to find Jared.
To add a twist to this tale, a "cyber" personality, called Genesis, is apparently involved in the kidnapping of Jared. While trying to track down Genesis, Todd is under the impression that Andrea is Genesis and tracks her down. In the process, Todd and Andrea gets involved, while trying to unravel the spider web of the Bancroft Foundation together.
In their search of Genesis, it became clear that the Bancroft Foundation makes use of several
unorthodox methods such as blackmail and professional hit met to make sure that the person that does not comply with their wishes, are taken care of. Andrea finds out that her mother, who died tragically in a motor vehicle accident, was also involved with the Foundation. Her worst fears came true when it was confirmed that the Foundation definitely had something to do with her mother''s death.
Then eventually locate Genesis, and to their surprise it is Brandon Bancroft, the son of Dr Paul Bancroft. Dr Bancroft and Jared are killed in the unraveling process of Genesis.
Todd and Andrea were married and they adopted Brandon as their own. Andrea found the family that she always wanted, and she is at the helm of the Bancroft Foundation. Hoewver, do the still use unorthodox methods? This remains to be seen.
