Chris and Peachy are a little older, in their mid-fifties, when they endow a charitable trust and considerable panic breaks loose worldwide. At the climax of this short novel, Chris has seconds to save someone he cares about, to convince Natalia that she's loved and wanted, a compelling reason not to board Aeroflot to Moscow. "We only live once," he says with an open heart. They're surrounded by hostile agents searching for her. No guarantee of getting out of Warsaw alive. An overwhelming likelihood of capture, relentless interrogation and rendition, unless Cable can sneak three beautiful women out of Chopin Airport -- and one of them is the tall bisexual Russian coder he can't leave behind. "I'll fight for you, defend you with my life," he promises her.
