Event Cascade

After the events of Chaos Theory, Connor Randall moves to Tokyo, Japan. When his boss dies mysteriously, Connor stumbles onto something puzzling in a vast collection of strange documents. Compelled by a grieving daughter, he delves deeper into the mystery. With his perfect memory, he realizes that certain historical events seem impossible. Yet when he thinks about these impossible events and considers how everything might somehow be connected, he develops an unbelievable conspiracy theory. “They” have no name. They are the powerful cabal whose secret machinations have built empires and kingdoms, and directed the course of human events from behind a curtain of anonymity. Their ominous hegemony dates from the Dark Ages and their hidden legacy echoes throughout a millennium of civilization. They survive now as data-mining businesses, statistical firms, actuarial companies, and demographics corporations, moving from nation to nation every few years to conceal their true purpose: covertly ruling the world with their prediction engines, statistical matrices, and mathematical equations. And they will kill to protect their secrets.
