Description

The savage combatants in Abby Kincaid's computer Game have gained a life of their own and have gone on a killing rampage through the streets of Manhattan, and she is the only one that can cancel out their program. But due to Abby's design, the escaped electromagnetic character now knows as much about computers as she does, eliminating the possibility of simply ending the program. Only the game's hero, Jack McGee, based on an actual ex-SEAL and jungle fighter, can kill Thundercloud, the Quechua savage bent on kidnapping Abby and making her his woman, thinking she is the Game's female antagonist. Knowing only Jack can kill Thundercloud, Abby embarks on a series of Virtual Realities meant to fool Jack into thinking he is helping her find a lost city in the Amazon jungle. But the real Jack refuses to take her into the jungle until she passes some SEAL training exercises, designed with the intent of keeping her from going. However, Abby has more pluck than Jack imagined and finds himself liking her spunk and determination until he finally agrees to take her to that lost city even though he seriously doubt it exists. On the way, Jack finds himself in a reality not his own, fighting a Thundercloud unlike the one he knows, with images appearing and disappearing which effect the outcome in a way Jack could never have imagined. The intrigue creates on-going excitement, with ex-SEALs, stolen Peruvian helicopters, GPS and Landsat imagery, free-fall parachuting, and a very questionable map to a city lost in the overgrowth of the Amazon jungle. All the time neither Jack nor Abby understand which Reality they fight and love in, or the terrible results of extended immersion in these Realities. Based on true events from Percy Fawcett's searches for a lost city of gold in the Amazon jungle, and Hugh McCarthy's recorded travel from which he never returned. This is a sweeping adventure pitting a modern-day warrior against the most unusual weapons he has ever encountered, and a tribe of Peruvian savages that never die, and a love that spans two continents and several unusual realities.
