Perceval's Secret: A Novel of the Future - Paperback

by C. C. Yager (Author)

June 2048: The Americans and Chinese meet in Vienna, Austria, to prevent a global economic disaster. During the talks, American orchestra conductor Evan Quinn conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the last gig on his European tour. After the concert, he eludes his Arts Council watchdogs and defects in a Viennese police station.

Evan wants to pursue his music career in freedom, no longer under the constraints of the American Arts Council and the dictatorship of the New Economic Party. Viennese Police Inspector Klaus Leiner, suspecting Evan is an American spy, especially after CIA operative Bernie Brown takes an interest in him, orders a surveillance operation to catch and arrest him.

Evan must stay ahead of the Viennese police and Bernie Brown to protect a secret that could change the course of the American-Chinese economic talks and ignite a global war. He believes he's left America in the past, but has he? Whom can he trust? Will he ever realize that he could be his own worst enemy or his own best chance for survival before it's too late?
