What the people around him don''t know is that Tom is an engineering prodigy who has been developing a highly sophisticated A.I. algorithm which awakens a power within him. While initially using this newfound power for personal gain and petty revenge, he learns of a dark secret from his father''s past that will change him forever. Along the way BACKCHANNEL, a decentralized hacktivist group causing havoc at prisons across the country, reaches out to Tom for help, setting him on a very dangerous path at an already dangerous time" -- Back cover.

Born of the legendary imagination that brought us Spider-Man, The Avengers, The X-Men, and an enduring universe of marvelous heroes and villains, Stan Lee''s The Devil’s Quintet return to take on a fiendish new adversary: The Shadow Society. Ever since The Armageddon Code, the Devil’s Quintet have been using their demonic powers to fight evil and protect the world, while remaining nothing but an urban legend to the general public. But the Devil is not about to let them keep using his powers for good. Created by Satan himself to counter the Quintet, the Shadow Society are five saintly men and women that have been secretly (and strategically) possessed by five of Hell’s most powerful demons. Granted supernatural powers of their own, they are part of a literally diabolical plot to strike at the very heart of the Quintet—and destroy humanity’s last hope! At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
