The Gemini Project Vaughn A Carney

THE GEMINI PROJECT is a legal thriller set in modern-day Saudi Arabia, concerning a disgraced, expatriate American lawyer, Trevor Osborne, who is working as a low-level grunt in a Riyadh law firm. It's a sad, lonely existence for him until he stumbles upon a fortune in bribe money intended for a powerful Saudi prince, part of a plot by a top-secret cabal of western oligarchs to destroy OPEC and undermine world democracy. The storyline also explores the conundrum of western-educated Saudi women and the dilemmas - and dangers - they face in such a repressive, misogynistic society. This feature appears in the person of a young, attractive, well-educated Saudi woman, a colleague in the law firm, who is desperate to escape an arranged marriage, and turns to Trevor as an ally as the two seek to flee the Kingdom. THE GEMINI PROJECT has been pre-selected for the Harvard Authors' Bookshelf of Harvard Magazine (Nov.-Dec. issue). The book will be available on Amazon, B& N, Nook, iPad/iPhone, Android, eBooks and other apps.
