Oceanview Publishing Announces the
Forthcoming Release of
Fortuna by Michael
Stevens:
Fortuna will be available nationwide on May 3,
2010
Ipswich, MA – Oceanview Publishing announces the
forthcoming release of Fortuna by
Michael Stevens. Fortuna will be available wherever fine
books are sold on May 3, 2010.
An
innovative, high-tech thriller, Fortuna (ISBN: 978
‐1
‐933515
‐77-9, $25.95,
Thriller, 312 pages, hardcover) introduces Jason Lind, a brilliant but bored
Stanford computer science major. Longing for escape from his mundane existence,
Jason signs up to play Fortuna, an
online role-playing game set in Renaissance Florence.
From the
first, fateful mouse click, Jason tumbles into the vibrant, lush, and
anonymous world of Fortuna. Swept
up in this highly complex, highly addictive game of fame, fortune, and
power, Jason quickly transitions from casual gamer to compulsive
player.
Soon
tangled up in a steamy, virtual love triangle, Jason becomes obsessed with
breaking Fortuna’s code of
anonymity. But Fortuna is
anything but fun and games, and when a sizeable debt incurred in the game
spills over into reality, Jason is forced to leverage the legacy of his
father, a high-tech legend killed in a car accident years before, to pay off
the debt.
What
started as a great escape may only leave Jason trapped, as the game that
transported Jason deep into the past exposes a shocking, present-day
reality. In the world of Fortuna,
it’s not how you play the game; it’s if you survive.
Susan
Greger, Publisher at Oceanview, commented, “We are thrilled to announce the
forthcoming release of Fortuna.
An exciting, innovative, page-turning thriller, Fortuna is an incredible
tale.”
