Book description
Maria Haymeyer has an I. Q. of 250, once posed for a Playboy 'Girls of
Mensa' feature, and has invented a radical new design for a warplane
computer game she calls 'L. U. C. I.' -- short for Light Ultra Chip
Intelligence. But someone has stolen her idea, and converted it to bid
for a multi-million Joint Strike Fighter contract with the Pentagon. An
unwilling but crucial ally in Maria's search to recover L. U. C. I. is a
man called Terry Weston, who, up until now, has pursued an ultra-secret
career as a corporate spy. But he is not aware of a critical fact - that
L. U. C. I. is a warplane with a built-in Doomsday mechanism. Chris
Fox was partner in a New York strategy consulting company. He worked
around the world with clients such as Citicorp, JVC, and Heineken, then
decided to become a fiction writer. He is currently working on his
second novel. To combat writer's block, he sometimes dogfights in a
World War II era USAF Trainer and takes his NSX onto the skidpad at
various racetracks.
