Steve Austin

When a friend of Joe Canton, O.S.I.’s communications chief, is accused of embezzlement and espionage, Joe also falls under suspicion. Steve sets out to prove his colleague’s innocence, but when he attempts to read the memory core of the department’s computer, it suddenly self-destructs. Convinced that an outside source may have altered the memory, Steve begins an investigation, and the trail soon leads him to Datamate, a computer dating service owned by programming expert, Emily Patterson. However, unknown to Steve, the real culprit is actually a sentient computer that has managed to gain control of the nation's money and secrets, and which is now planning to stop Steve’s investigation using some very lethal tactics...
