16 Jan, 2024 – Versatile creator Richard J. Hatch announces the upcoming release of his compelling young adult novel, “Danger9b and his Goddess of Fortune.” The story stems from a long-lost treasure of coded notes recently discovered in the author’s attic written long ago from secret identities. This eagerly awaited book now promises to enthrall readers far beyond young adult years with a captivating narrative that seamlessly combines history, culture, intrigue, adventure, and the enduring theme of first love.
Feeling a bit like a fantasy tale but based upon the author’s own life experiences in the Middle East, “Danger 9b and his Goddess of Fortune” presents a coming-of-age story that immerses readers in the life of Rick Foster, a well-mannered teenager raised with discipline by his father, a stern man with a dangerous job. The story takes an unexpected turn when Jill MacGregor, a spirited and unpredictable newcomer at their International High School in Ankara, Turkey, enters Rick’s world.
As the narrative unfolds, readers are swept into the whirlwind romance between Rick and Jill. What initially appears to be a simple schoolboy crush soon reveals itself to be a universe of trouble. A seemingly innocuous stick of gum sets off a chain of events, eventually leading Rick and Jill to an unexpected predicament—imprisonment in the Soviet embassy. This marks the beginning of a series of misadventures involving unexpected players like the CIA, the Russians, and even the Beatles.
Throughout the novel, Jill unravels her enigmatic secrets, setting the stage for an international quest to uncover her substantial, shadowy inheritance. With other claimants vying for the same prize, the duo faces mounting threats, heightening the suspense and excitement of their journey.
