The Rosetta Syndrome-Norris Blanc

Dr. Philip McAllister, senior marine archaeologist at the British Museum, is leading the project to raise a 16th Century Spanish treasure ship from the ocean floor off Lima, Peru. But just before he returns to Peru for the final stages of the excavation, he finds himself accosted by shadowy elements of the British secret services, who accuse him of cyber-terrorism, while curious Russians have also been lurking near his home. Meanwhile, a Californian artificial intelligence expert seems to have lost control of his most advanced creation, which he’d hired out to a Japanese investment banker to fraudulently manipulate the international financial markets.  All of these disparate events are on a violent collision course that will endanger the lives of everyone involved, and ultimately threaten the very foundations of modern existence! Is the juggernaut unstoppable? Is native human ingenuity irrelevant, or is it now the only way ahead?
