Limbo Man

FBI Special Agent Vee Frost does not care for Homeland Security's list of job

qualifications when they ask to borrow her services. "An experienced agent

with a proven track record" is good. "Fluent in Russian" hints of an

assignment close to her heart. But "Attractive female, under thirty-five"

sends up red flags. Obviously, DHS is asking for services above and beyond the

call of duty. But a loan to Homeland Security would look great on her resumé,

and it sounds as if they really need her . . .

But when Vee agrees to turn on the charm for a mystery man who may hold the

clue to something vital to U. S. security, she never anticipates a chase after

two nuclear bombs from the old Soviet arsenal that will take her and the

amnesiac Russian arms dealer from New York City to Connecticut, Colorado, New

Jersey, and Florida, then on to Siberia and Iran. Nor does she expect to

unearth a second personality beneath the façade of the tough arms dealer,

Sergei Tokarev. A man with an agenda as hidden as the facts in his brain.

No matter how strong the bond Vee and Sergei form as they chase from one

danger to the next, it seems doubtful either of them will live long enough to

enjoy a happy ending.

Author's Note: LIMBO MAN and ORANGE BLOSSOMS & MAYHEM were written years

apart, and yet the two stories, featuring amnesiac heros, were uploaded back

to back. My only excuse: with all the current headlines about Iran's nuclear

program, it just seemed the right time for LIMBO MAN to go "live."
