Résumé :
Steven Andrews had graduated from CalTech, and now was a top computer engineer for Intel Corporation in Santa Clara, California. He wasa man of many secrets. The worst kept secret was that he was hopelessly in love with a beautiful college professor at the University of California Berkley, named Wendy Slater. The U.S. Government had offered the Intel Corporation and also the University of California Berkley lucrative contracts to disable a computer virus that had the whole world in an uproar. TheState Department, Home Land Security, the FBI and even the White Househad made the complete elimination of the profanity virus a top priority. AtIntel the responsibility for destroying the bug had come down to Steven Andrews and his team of engineers. Money was no object, only a solution to the crisis was all that was acceptable. At California Berkley, the FBI found out that Wendy Slater knew more that she was telling everyone, and she became a person of interest in the caper that was amounting to billions of dollarsn= illicit computer fees. A breakthrough came for Steven Andrews that gave him a promotion and huge recognition. However, money, fame and glory were not what he was interested in. He only cared about getting a chance to meet and date the gorgeous Cal professor. Now, that the virus was disabled, Wendy's life could get back to normal, or could it...? Wendy Slater had been lucky and had won several awards which led to intellectual patents that were worth millions. Wendy's university had worked on this computer virus problem and she had now become involved extensively. However, a security company from Las Vegas owned by the local mafia, decided to relieve Wendy of her money. They kidnapped her from her own apartment and transported her back to Las Vegas. No one but Wendy had the ransom money that was needed, and she could not access her own money because it was all tied up in government bonds. Steven Andrews knew that there was a small chance to find and liberate her, and finally have her in his life. This would be his only chance.....
