The Cleanse (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781956736953)

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.....
