Book Description:

For world-famous software billionaire Rex Wyman, winning the Pacific Winter Challenge -- an arduous race over some of the world's most treacherous seas -- may be the only thing that can save his crumbling empire. And aboard the Victory, his $75 million computer-operated yacht, the odds are in his favor. But unbeknownst to Wyman and his girlfriend, Gwen, someone wants to win even more -- by any means necessary.

As the Victory races headlong into a furious storm, a series of baffling accidents reveals that the vessel's computer is fallible -- and it's up to computer-savvy Gwen to find out whether there's a technical glitch or a determined plot to kill her and her embattled boyfriend. Combining suspense, adventure, high technology gone awry, and a good old-fashioned sea story at its most exciting, Force 12 is a spine-tingling, sensational thriller.
