Stan Rogers, a successful software entrepreneur, has a plan to help
third world countries speed up their progress into the developing
world and to give back some of what he has reaped from the hi-tech
boom. He sets off on a journey to visit heads of state and CEO's of
large corporations to implement this idea. The vehicle for this
trek is his super sportfishing yacht, "Micro Fiche." Along the way
he samples world class big game fishing, his other passion in life.
Many of these spectacular days of blue-water angling are taken from
the real life experiences of the author. Unfortunately, there are
those whose special interests are threatened by Roger's scheme for
these poor countries. These include a U.S. Senator, former Navy
Seal, and a couple of corporation executives. These and other
people set out to sabotage the negotiations and Roger's comrades as
well. A series of incidents from Cairo, to Baja California, to the
Northern California Wine Country brings the reader inside the
action as Stan and his fishing buddies attempt to protect, and
finally deliver, a library of computer disks back into the United
States. The premature revelation of the data and agreements on
these disks could very well scuttle the entire project. If you have
ever wished for a little more in-depth view into the sport of
offshore fishing, the boutique wine business, and a fresh tack on
international philanthropy, along with the intrigue swirling around
this voyage, pick up this easy reading but thoughtful book.
