FANCY THAT

Benjamin Roberts is a loser in life, then on a whim he buys a home computer though he knows nothing about computers and can’t even type. Therein, he meets Max in cyberspace who offers him fame, fortune, and the woman of his dreams, asking only for Ben’s friendship in return. Lo! Max delivers. But in doing so, he makes Ben the target of the FBI, the Treasury Dept., CIA, Interpol, and the security forces of every country on Earth, not to mention organized crime. As for Jenny, Ben’s dream woman, Max insists on orchestrating an elaborately prolonged seduction of her that will never reveal his true role in it. Progressively, questions arise. Who is this Max and what is he actually up to? Will Jenny love and stay true to Ben? If federal agents finally arrest Ben, will he ever again go free to enjoy his fabulous fortune and be back with Jenny? And who is the “Beijing Bulldog” anyway? But in the end, perhaps the only thing that truly matters is what Ben Roberts fancies.
