Description
Doctor Augustus Silk controls Comsat International, an international front for WEBNET, an organization dealing with illegal activities in technical, industrial and financial institutions worldwide. Silk, a crippled and disfigured recluse, uses the vast computer network at his disposal to manipulate human lives and destroy international finances. Ninjak and the Weaponeer Organization worked to stop Silk's schemes. Since the destruction of the Weaponeers, Silk's only obstacle has been Ninjak.
Ninjak's incredible intelligence begs for a challenge and Silk has proven to be such. These two adversaries have initiated a global game of chess, with human lives as their pawns. Silk has yet to determine Ninjak's identity, but he has vowed to see him destroyed.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
