Silicon God Strikes Back

Silicon God Strikes Back opens with a man at the top of his craft. Leon is known in his industry as the Chip Wizard, an engineer with a rare ability to design processors that leave competitors scrambling. At home, he has a wife he loves, Tessa, and he believes the life they are building is solid. When he collapses at work from exhaustion and wakes up in a hospital, the news that follows is not about him. His best friend and family doctor, Clark, tells him Tessa has stage four liver cancer. It has spread to her lungs. The surgery to save her will cost a hundred thousand dollars, and insurance will not cover it.

Leon does what he thinks a husband should do. He borrows the money from every source he can tap—his savings, his boss, his friends. But when he comes home ready to tell Tessa the plan, she is already one step ahead. She found the money and took it. Not for treatment—she gave it to her teenage brother to buy a new car. She thinks Leon is the one with cancer, and she has already decided he is not worth the expense. The woman he thought he married is not just indifferent—she is cruel, and she has been hiding a life he never saw coming.

The discovery breaks something open in Leon, but it does not break him. He decides to change his entire life. He is still the Chip Wizard. He still has the mind that built record-breaking processors. And now, with the marriage that defined his personal world shattered, he is ready to prove that his talents can dominate the tech world.
