                             A Y2K Novel

Noontide Night is a thrilling and realistic portrayal of how even small
Y2K problems can bring unparalleled chaos to a once-civilized world.

     Two young couples half the world apart are tested to the depths of
their love and humanity when the seemingly harmless Y2K bug explodes,
shattering the foundations of civilization.  Each must choose between
saving themselves and the society that makes them human.
     Morgan and Desiree Hyland, pragmatic and strong American baby
boomers living on assignment in New Zealand, are unprepared for the
madness unleashed at their family and must battle the terrible
consequences of their own actions.  Seven thousand miles from home and
seven months pregnant, they must summon all their courage when they're
swept apart and their baby's life is jeopardized.
     Secluded in a Y2K fortress in rural Colorado, Nate Zamora is a
disenchanted GenX programmer who's given up trying to convince the world
to prepare.  He must defy a desperate government strangled by its own
unpreparedness and ill-conceived emergency measures when his girlfriend,
Amber, having astute foresight, vanishes into the night.  Nate abandons
the safety of his fortress to embark on an emotionally purifying quest
to find her, help her--and learn from her.

Thoroughly researched and accompanied by a non-fiction article filled
with information, Noontide Night empowers you to do what no other Y2K
book does:  Judge for yourself.
