Remember
this guy?
He
was first introduced in Waking Rose,
but even first-time readers will quickly jump on board this rollicking adventure
with the sword-wielding Alex O'Donnell and his nearly techno-phobic girlfriend,
Kateri Kovach, who yes, take on forty cyberthieves.
In this high-tech thriller, Alex returns from college to find that his dad, a
computer hacker and software programmer, has inadvertently discovered a mysterious
website which leads to sudden wealth. But at what cost?
Practical,
hard-working Kateri Kovach is suspicious of all this high-tech hoopla and tries
desperately to keep the O`Donnell family running smoothly; mainly by cleaning
up after them. Her biggest worries are finding a job and figuring out how to break
up with Alex. Yet, she finds herself evermore immersed in the O'Donnell family
activities - playing video games with Alex and his younger brothers Sam and David,
caring for their mother suffering from MS, and battling a samurai security cat.
Mayhem, martial arts, and murder ensue even as Alex pursues marriage with Kateri
who wonders why she's letting herself be a part of the madness. But in the end,
it just might be the anti-technological Kateri who saves the day...
