Hello all! Thank you so much for your support!
I've updated the description of the book to give you a better idea of what the story is about. I realize that the original description didn't have a lot of information, so I decided to change that. The new description is below.
Also, this project was featured on Jack Randomm's podcast on the Supernaughts website. Everyone should check it out!

New Description:
Stephen Corona is the son of the founder of a prominent pharmaceutical company, Corona Medical. He’s always tried to make it on his own, never wanting to use his family name to succeed. His research on artificial intelligence is close to a breakthrough when his AI project named Andromeda exhibits promising results.
Everything changes with the murder of his father. Corona Medical had just developed the McGuffin, a nanotech treatment that can cure almost any illness, but the data is locked and only Stephen can solve the puzzle. Unsure of who to trust, his life is put into the hands of a mysterious young man who is sworn to protect him.
Stephen wants nothing more than to go back to his quiet life and work on his project. Inside of Andromeda’s source code, there’s a cryptic message from his father: “Andromeda is the key.” When he is targeted by Orion City's guild of assassins known as Orion's Shield, Stephen Corona is thrust in the middle of a power struggle between multiple factions who want the McGuffin for themselves.
As his life is falling apart around him, Stephen struggles to piece together the puzzle left behind by his father. Will he be able to stay alive long enough to unravel the mystery and set things right?
Reguarding that last update, I sent an early draft of the description, before I had named the nanotech treatment.
As an FYI, it is not known as the McGuffin, I just used that as a placeholder. Its actual name is the Source Repair.
Thanks again for all your support!
