The US Patriot Act has given the UKUSA treaty countries free rein to use their ECHELON surveillance program to monitor every spoken or written word transmitted throughout the world. In the wrong hands it could bring down governments and threaten the safety of millions.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “從你前方第一間盥洗室數起的第三個電話亭，9點45分整，接起電話，仔細聽好了。”
前海軍偵探、新聞調查員拉克蘭•福克斯突然在甘迺迪機場廣播中聽到了自己的名字，他立即前往問訊處並得到了一張紙條，滿腹疑慮的他打開字條，看到了如上留言。
911事件之後，隨著愛國者法案的出臺，美國員警機關的權力和管理範圍大大擴張，以ECHELON(全球間諜網路)為平臺，他們有權搜索電話、電子郵件通訊、醫療、財務和其他種類的記錄。
而這部影響深遠的立法仿佛一把鋒利的雙刃劍，倘若不慎濫用，將給政府乃至數百萬民眾帶來不可估量的打擊。可現在，正有人對ECHELON虎視眈眈，陰謀悄然彌漫。
福克斯能否挺身而出，力挽狂瀾？(Ruby)

James Phelan was born on the 21st of May, 1979, in Melbourne, Australia. His creative spirit was nurtured from a young age, and he credits his overactive imagination to being exposed to such works as The Hobbit, Treasure Island, The Jungle Book, and The Little Prince.As a teenager James discovered a love of thrillers, of being entertained and informed on topical global events. James cites influences on the Fox series from reading such authors as Alistair MacLean, Clive Cussler, Jeffery Archer, Ken Follett, Tom Clancy, Jack Higgins, Robert Ludlum, John le Carre, and Jeffery Deaver.
In 1995, aged fifteen, James started his first novel for his VCE English assignment. A thriller involving a terrorist attack on the 2000 Sydney Olympics, James eventually abandoned the storyline when Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six was published in 1998. While this storyline died, the lead protagonists of Lachlan Fox and Alister Gammaldi did not, and James went in search of another introductory tale.After high school James went on to study in Architecture, and then English Literature, eventually graduating with a Master of Arts in Writing. It was during his masters degree and while working at The Age newspaper James developed the idea that would become his first published book, and would lead to seeing his novels in print.
