First it was just a Russian mafia story set in the 1990’s, since that’s when I lived there and experienced how crazy it was. I’ve followed it for years and you are one of my favorites. Hart, thank you so much for hosting me on your blog. You've got a great rounded story here-great characters, great setting, great plot. Frantically trying to stay alive and save her loved ones, Zoya opens the package and discovers two unusual data cards, one that allows her to fight back against the mafia and another which may hold the key to everlasting life. When her brother forces her to bring him a mysterious package, she witnesses his murder and finds herself on the run from ruthless mobsters. With the world only beginning to recover from the complete societal collapse of the late 21st Century, Zoya scrapes by prepping corpses for funerals and dreams of saving enough money to have a child.

So today I am interviewing him and then I've got a review of The Immortality Game-it came out yesterday, I believe, but I was lucky enough to get an advance copy. So when he announced he was releasing his Cyberpunk Thriller, The Immortality Game, I thought it was a great opportunity to introduce all of YOU to him (and his work) too. Definitely more interesting than me, and I mean no disrespect when I say he is PROBABLY more interesting than you.

He is a US diplomat who has lived in capitals around the world, speaks several languages, is a world-class chess player, managed to be an extra in the latest Die-Hard Movie, arranges for his son to play guitar with famous musicians. So Ted Cross is one of the more fascinating people I've managed to meet anywhere.
