The Candy Man (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. A dream come true. But he would soon learn there was credence in that old adage -- Be Careful What You Wish For. William Perkins was twenty-seven years old, and he felt like he had spent his entire life studying. He might be a mathematics genius and computer guru, but it was obvious that his life totally sucked. He longed for change, any change good or bad, that might break the daily sameness of university life. On a fateful summer day he got his wish. It began with disarming innocence. He thought he was alone, but suddenly he stood face to face with the woman of his dreams. She told him she had wanted to meet him and that she thought he was a genius. William was euphoric, and there was no hint of anything sinister lurking in the shadows. His life had finally begun to sparkle. Then, out of the blue, he stumbled upon a discrepancy in his family tree. Old truths became meaningless, and the uneventful life he had become so dissatisfied with vanished. He became entwined in an evil web of murder and avarice that threatened not only his own life, but everyone around him. He was hurled into a fierce life-and-death battle that took place not only in the real world of corporate profit, but also spilled over into his turf, into the theoretical world of cyberspace. And by his side every step of the way, was the woman he loved--and could not trust. When you read The Candy Man, you'll probably think it is science fiction, but believe me it isn't. The scary thing is, it might not even be fiction. Enjoy! Richard Alan.
