A time not far from today. A world not far from chaos.
In the not-too-distant future, the world has changed. The new Germany has risen in power, uniting with the Russians to steal governments--and freedom. The Japanese have tipped the scales of economic dominance. And high technology has reached an awesome pinnacle.
In the catacombs beneath the Arc de Triomphe hides a new breed of freedom fighter. American Robert Landry was a once-renowned computer technologist. Now he is a hunted fugitive, battling underground for control of the Star, a machine he designed -- the world's first national computer, whose lifelines are linked to the terrified heartbeat of an entire victimized nation.
Together with a haunted young woman, Chantal Senac, Landry plunges into a dizzying spiral of danger and love, locked in a harrowing on-line struggle with a cunning and ruthless dictator, racing against unthinkable odds to conquer the unconquerable.

Old Children's Book. Liked it as a kid, but haven't read it in years.
