"First ever interactive digi-novel." Although the book can be read as a traditional thriller book, the web links bring the characters to life in movie scenes that extend the story. The companion movies on the website star "Dan Buran as Steve Dark, Michael Ironside as Tom Riggins, Glenn Morshower as Norman Wycoff, Bill Duke as Jack Mictchell, Kevin Weisman as Josh Banner, Daniel Browning Smith as Sqweegel, Tauvia Dawn as Sibby Dark."
"Features Steve Dark, the ultimate crime-scene tactician on the tail of a killer so brutal law enforcement has invented a new classification of evil to account for him," as he is beyond the world's most dangerous killers, the "organized, premeditated torture-murderers who inhabit Level 25." "About every twenty pages, you will have the option of logging in to experience a digital cyber-bridge - a three-minute motion picture scene with A-list actors... the characters will spring to life, crime-scene details will explode off the screen, and the web site might even ask for a phone number- where the killer can reach you directly." -- Dust jacket.
To experience the optional "digital cyber-bridge" requires Internet access and entering the codes given throughout the text..
