L.U.C.I. In The Sky

LUCI - short for Light Ultra Chip Intelligence. A strike fighter for the 21st Century, invisible in the 400 to 700 spectrum of human vision. It is interactive with each individual pilot, programmed to override and correct human error.

LUCI - the radical new warplane computer game invented by twenty-seven-year-old Cuban American, Maria Haymeyer, who has an IQ of 250 and once posed for Playboy's "Girls of Mensa".

LUCI - a warplane with a secret Doomsday mechanism, unknown to the people who have hijacked Maria's idea and plan a multi-billion deal with the Pentagon . . .

Terry Watson has a highly successful front as a venture capitalist. During the Gulf War he flew a Stealth Darkwing. He also possesses another ultra-secret talent that makes him a potential but unwilling ally in Maria Haymeyer's fight to get "LUCI" back.

LUCI - it could spell Armageddon.

With thrilling pace, high-octane wit, and the cutting edge verisimilitude of a Michael Crichton, Chris Fox's fizzing debut reinvents the high-tech thriller genre.
