The minders : a novel / John Marrs.

"In the 21st century, information is king. But computers can be hacked and files can be broken into -- so a unique government initiative has been born. Five ordinary people have been selected to become "minders" -- the latest weapon in thwarting cyberterrorism. Transformed by a revolutionary medical procedure, the country's most classified information has been taken offline and turned into genetic code implanted inside their heads. Together, the five know every secret -- the truth behind every government lie, conspiracy theory and cover up. In return, they're given the chance to leave their problems behind and a blank slate to start their lives anew. But not everyone should be trusted, especially when they each have secrets of their own they'll do anything to protect..."-- Provided by publisher.
