Midas

MIDAS is Goldfinger for a new generation of thrill-seeking readers; it's "James Bond" for a 21st century audience. The mythical King Midas killed the only thing he loved, his tiny daughter. A single touch turned her into gold. Julian Midas, the villain of this novel, has re-written the legend: everyone he hates, dies. And then turns into the only thing he loves, gold. At the age of twenty-four, Midas is the world's youngest billionaire. He's also the craziest. No one lives after being touched by his machine. Britain's MI-6 Secret Service desperately wants to stop Midas's killing spree, so it dispatches its best spy, a man named Dekker, as well as a fifteen-year-old video-game fanatic named Mac. But they're in for quite a surprise: Midas can't wait to meet them. AUTHOR'S WEBSITE: www. LeeSmyth.com
