La dolce vita. Some love it, some hate it. Here, in Catch-22 fashion, the stage is set for an epic battle for the survival of Italy. You will be on the edge of your seat throughout - at times from laughter, at times from horror and nail-biting suspense.
Dante Passoni, the long awaited Italian counterpart to James Bond, is at the center of this unique thriller and intriguing mystery. He, Dante, is a genuine superhero, capable of engaging in vigilante justice that is celebrated by the common man but also by government authorities unable to do their jobs: the hapless police and bungling military, the hopelessly corrupt senate and impotent intelligence services. An example: Dante takes on a serial killer who counts his murder victims in the thousands and now threatens Venice when government agents are paralyzed by fear. He's that kind of guy. He is a master of the high-tech revolution, founder of Italy's most innovative company. It is as if he stars in a technothriller his own life creates.
A Casanova even by Italian standards, Dante is not merely the seducer of beautiful women; he is open to heartfelt romance. A problem? Perhaps. Bottom line: Dante is as dashing as James in his prime, as charming as Italy herself, as bold and fearless as any hero of a men's adventure or psychological thriller. It's a good thing. He and his country are faced with a danger greater than any since the fall of Rome. If you love Italy, its food, drink, cars and fashion; if you love adventure and romance and are also a sucker for humor, satire and an occasional whiff of the outrageous; if you are intrigued by the idea of a novel that is both a parody of itself and a wildly unpredictable page-turner, you've landed on the right page. Lastly, should you crave something that will quicken your pulse and reignite your senses, SAVE ITALY is the espresso you need. Dive in and have some fun!
