About this ebook
What if you picked a mega Powerball, photographed your winning ticket, but then lost it? Imagine you have proof of where you bought it confirmed, and as time ticks down you search relentlessly until, at last, time's up and you're joked about on late night TV for 15 minutes of shame...after which you are forgotten, back at your job as a bowling alley accountant. Now imagine it's a year later, and you win again. This time the jackpot is $900 million, and your ticket is sole winner. How careful would you be to protect yourself? How paranoid or cynical or shocked? Meet Howard Rosen, a lifelong loser determined to rock the world. Step one: erase his identity, and disappear. Step two: hire the tabloid writer who finds him--Jude Johnstone--to act as location scout to finance a coup against a corrupt Caribbean island dictator by staging a fake reality show like Survivor. Step 3: Re-emerge a hero, buy a neighboring island, and throw parties for other lifelong celebrities. What follows is anything but predictable, though, in this adventure/romance based partly on a true story. Set in Miami and the West Indies, no votes or numbers matter for survival here, because if you fail to beat the opposing tribe? You're shark food.
