An Improbable Love Story A classic Grecian beauty who lives with constant danger, Ariana travels the roads of Eastern Europe delivering contracts too incriminating to be sent any other way. Alone at high speed in her Bentley, she wonders who she really is, why she's always been so aloof, indifferent to the admiration she receives. An evening watching a belly-dancer opens the door to her sudden self-discovery and the exciting though provoking story that unfolds. FLASHDRIVE takes you into a little known world of high-level international crime where betrayal is commonplace and transcendent love is unknown. From "Cartier" in the Place Vendome, to the bar at "The Bigudi Terrace" in Istanbul, to the remoteness of an archaeological dig at Troy, to "Frolik" - the superyacht of a Russian billionaire - the story moves quickly, contrasting Ariana's interior search to the vast cybercrimes directed by her father from his office overlooking the Aegean. Her library of music, stored on iPods in "Zeus" - Ariana's Bentley - plays an oddly powerful part in bringing her together with the son of an especially unpleasant international criminal. The relationship that evolves between them challenges their assumptions while creating a bond like no other. "Zeus'" top speed is 204 miles per hour, able to outrun everything on the road. The "character" of "Zeus" is based on an actual production model Bentley with a mind-boggling sound system beyond state-of-the-art. Trained to drive at high speeds at the Nuerburgring in Germany, Ariana tolerates no challengers on the road. FLASHDRIVE is a fun read. The absurdities of ancient Greek mythology pop up at unlikely moments even as Rodion Spassky, the uncouth billionaire, salivates when Ariana comes aboard his yacht. The sybaritic splendors of five-star hotels serving cuisine fit for angels are generously studded along the routes of Ariana's threatened life. FLASHDRIVE will take you far away from where you are - at breathtaking speeds.
