Description: The Zenith Angle, futurist Bruce Sterling's first novel since Zeitgeist, tells the story of Derek "Van" Vandeveer. As the story opens, Van sits peacefully at his breakfast table enjoying life as a new homeowner and happily married man, with a new son and a fortune in stock options. Then the morning news reports a jetliner has crashed in nearby Manhattan-colliding with the World Trade Centre. Like many other Americans' lives, Van's will never be the same. He leaves his corporate job to work fighting terrorism for the US government. He soon finds himself sequestered at a top-secret undisclosed location while his fortune vanishes, his former company sinks into a morass of lawsuits and arrests, and his wife and son move to the far side of the country. As Van is transformed from cyber-whiz to spook, he finds himself changing in ways he would never have imagined.
