The Weapon

Veronica Stone is a technology genius and inventor of the groundbreaking holographic cell phone. Her phone is harmless, an entertaining bit of high-tech wizardry, until it falls into the wrong hands. She is unaware of a wasting disease, invented by a Cold War Russian scientist, who lacked the technology to make his illness take effect.Now, years after the Cold War, a nefarious Japanese businessman somehow has gotten his hands on this scientist's notes, but he requires Veronica's phone to enact his horrific plan. He employs Veronica's invention to create a new and virtually indestructible weapon the world has never seen. Of course, she realizes none of this when she is seduced by the businessman's offer of fortune and fame by agreeing to give him the application of her invention.
After making this agreement, she is soon framed for the attempted murder of the president of the United States, so Veronica is on the run, in search of a cure for the horrible disease she unknowingly helped to weaponize. Veronica will need more than her intellect to clear her name; she'll need calm calculation and bravery to save her nation, her family, and her life.
