          Everyone has plans, some have plans so integral to everything they are, those plans are the reason their hearts beat, it's not a plan to them, it's their entire belief system, and everything they do operates according to it.  They'll do anything they determine is necessary to protect that belief system, because it's their religion; past logic or even reason, that belief system is their bedrock, it is their faith.

          A Girl Friday, Lyss Oplityre, is suddenly thrust into the middle of some world-changing plans carefully set in motion by people of influence and determined urgency, powerful people she's never known much about.  Pushed into the unknown by inscrutable forces she has no control over, unprepared and unenlightened, she begins an adventure full of improbable occurrences that throw her into the thick of international political intrigue.

          Adding to it all, as if everything wasn't already unreal enough, Lyss is shocked when her dearest childhood fantasy suddenly walks in and insists on staying.  How does she deal with that, while racing through Russia on no less than a mission to save the world?  Good grief!  She's just a secretary!  Things like this don't happen to ordinary people!  No, they don't, Lyss, but why do you think you're ordinary?

          Dreams pale beside this new reality, as Lyss and her mission affect the lives of a diverse roster of individuals with their own dreams and their own ideas about how reality should work.

          This is the beginning chronicle of how two very remarkable people met and together set out on a wild attempt to save the world.  There was no contingency plan for Mr. Alvarez and those working with him, Lyss was it.
