Showing The Ultimate Rush by Joe Quirk

The cult classic:
The Ultimate Rush
by Joe Quirk

San Francisco. Downhill. No brakes.

Chet Griffin, San Francisco's fastest rollerblading messenger, was given a simple assignment. But that delivery turned real deadly, real fast. Seems the package he was carrying contained a single computer disk-- worth a cool billion. On a routine run, one of Chet's co-workers gets murdered, the finger’s pointed at Chet, and he finds himself running for his life. Chet enlists the help of his skaterchick bisexual buddy and his superhacker roommate, and takes off across the city to track down the evidence he needs to bring down a financial Ponzi scheme that uncannily foretells our current crisis.

On a wild ride through SF's sloping streets and the twisted channels of cyberspace, Joe Quirk delivers a hip, sexy game of cat-and-mousepad that will leave you breathless.

This retro classic takes place in the nineties, before cell phones and ipods, when Google was still called BackRub, and beepers were cool.
