Produktbeschreibung
This is a story of two successful young people and the action, sex, romance, and violence that occurred in the fall of 2028. It takes place against the backdrop of an effort to form a new soccer league in America. One of the main characters, Michael Reed, grew up in Dallas and had become a successful lawyer who specialized in Sports Law. In a unique series of events he winds up right in the middle of the struggle to develop what amounted to a new sport out of a game that had changed very little in several hundred years. A group of avid soccer fans formed a group to change a rule that, in the past, had limited the scoring in soccer and caused many tie games. The resulting problems of the new league and its path to success form the backdrop to the story of the torrid relationship between the two main characters. The other main character is Allison Torres, a young twenty seven year old girl from San Antonio who was a hostess on the new bullet train running from Houston to Chicago, through Dallas. She happens to be on the train that is taking Michael and his friends from Chicago to Dallas after the years' first soccer match. She is a most unusual girl in many respects and Michael is taken by her. Their chance meeting on the train begins the events that form the basis of their story. Their lives seem to be charmed until they become the targets of a mob who were apparently hired to intimidate Michael from pursuing the new league. Her willingness to not be bullied into backing down from the challenges they encounter make her the hero of the story in many respects. The Crossfire they encounter in the last chapter brings to a close this phase of their lives together.
