| A MATTER OF TIME - the second volume in John Joyce's Virtual Trilogy, sees widowed computer billionaire Theo Gilkrensky flying to Florida to exonerate his robot pilot system. He is accompanied by his latest technological marvel-the Minerva 3000 artifically intelligent laptop computer, whose user interface Theo has programmed to look, speak and act like his beloved wife Maria. Once in Florida, Theo encounters perverted computer games king Jerry Gibb, who lusts after the Minerva's 'virtual Maria' to be the subject of his adult computer games. Also lurking in ambush are Yukiko Funakoshi, the seductive Japanese assassin who holds Theo responsible for the death of her parents, rogue CIA agent Milton Hacker, who has his own very deadly agenda, and an old flame from Theo's past. |
