"A fast-paced thriller featuring exotic locales and an intriguing cast of characters."--Kirkus Review
As the world comes unhinged, a lucky few will be quaffing Cristal and nibbling Beluga as they stock their Feadships and gas-up their Gulfstreams for a last-minute dash to safety. For American Maya Jade, the Cote d'Azur remains a fast-eroding zone of normality amid global chaos. Welcome to the Madhouse. Welcome to the year 2018. Last Call for Caviar, by Melissa Roen, conjures an all-too-plausible scenario of end-times on the glamorous and treacherous French Riviera. Anyone looking for a thrilling, fast-paced read with a powerful savor of impending doom will relish this smart, page-turning primer on living like there's no tomorrow.
Maya has the Cote d'Azur at her manicured fingertips, from the glittering nightlife of Monte Carlo to the splendid beaches of Cap Ferrat. Her heart, however, is hopelessly in hock to former lover Julian, who's gone missing on the wrong side of the security perimeter since they quarreled months before. When a psychic tells Maya that Julian is her destiny rather than the cad she recalls, hope floods in alongside doubt.
Navigating the treacherous minefield of her disintegrating world, she finds herself drawn to Abdul, a sexy and enigmatic Emirati, involved in the struggle for control over the gold-plated Principality of Monaco. Back in the US, anarchy is spreading, forcing Maya's family to flee Vegas for the Oregon coast. Her domineering sister, Leah, wants her to come home, but getting there may well be impossible.
As natural disasters, extreme weather, environmental collapse and resource wars roil the planet and armies of the dispossessed and murderous approach, Maya must decide where to make a stand and with whom. Can she bum a ride on a billionaire's jet? Will she sacrifice her independence for a Sheik's protection? Will she risk survival to honor her obligations? Can she heal a broken heart on an irreparably broken planet? With wit and invention, Last Call for Caviar describes a world where a gal's Glock fits a diamond holster and that second helping of caviar may be your last. This sharply-observed narrative of an uncannily realistic future is as fierce as it is fabulous.
