Wildfire James Bellis

An advert placed in various computer publications around the world attracts the attention of thousands of programmers: "Large, multinational company is looking for programmers to take part in a project that will change the world. Be part of the team that will deliver a system to improve the lives of billions. An eighteen-month project with huge, tax-free financial rewards."



Thousands apply, but unknown to the applicants, only single non-Muslims between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five and with no immediate family are singled out to continue the application process.



Project Nirvana is the brainchild of a reclusive Indonesian billionaire and majority shareholder of the multinational company Genco. He has lured the best and brightest minds to a secure resort on an Indonesian island with the promise of huge financial rewards while catering to their every physical, mental, and sexual need. The only caveat is that they will have no contact with the outside world for the duration of the project.



On the surface, the project seems legitimate; but working in separate pods, the programmers don't realize that the project is concealing a sinister plot. Every three months, programmers are terminated from the project and leave the resort seemingly well-compensated before returning to their normal lives. It is only through a freak accident that Team Delta discovers that not all is what it seems.



What really happened to the programmers who left the project? And what will become of those left behind?
