About This Book
A chance encounter between a man and an enigmatic young woman sets off a restless tale of romance and danger that moves from city intrigue to wild frontiers. Episodes range across morgues and moon-shiners, gambling and European sport, desert crossings and ritual dances, beachside passion and confrontations with jealous rivals, a critical operation and lawless rum-running, culminating in an audacious bid to flee Earth together for refuge elsewhere. The narrative intertwines psychological suspense and adventurous set pieces while following the couple’s attempts to secure safety and an ideal companionship amid mounting external threats.
