Jane Spyrus comes from a family of spies, all working for
B.L.I.S. in
British Columbia. Her mother and father were killed in a
car explosion
when she was only five. Living with her gran Maggie since
their death,
Maggie is now wheelchair ridden after an accident on the
job. Jane
chose to join the technical end of B.L.I.S. developing
pink vibrator mini-
missile launchers, tampon trackers and the such for the
technical
department, rather than to follow in the footsteps of her
predecessors as
agents. Jane's life is waylaid when her neighbor Edie
Andretti comes
missing.
Abel Andretti, Edie's brother, has arrived at the
airport from London to
visit his sister and apply for a job locally, only to be
left waiting for Edie
arrival. Jane and her Gran end up involved in helping
Abel find his sister,
suspecting that she has been kidnapped after voicing her
suspicions
regarding Ensecksi Satellites and their intent for
microwave mind-
controlling technology. Headed out in Jane's techy loaded
van, trouble-
on-wheels Gran, Abel, Gran's vicious little pint sized dog
Tinkle (who has
a habit of tinkling on the legs) and Edie's cat Mr. Tibbs,
they hit the road
to track Edie through Jane's tampon tracker, borrowed by
Edie without
knowing the secret product. Trekking to Sonora,
California they end up
drawn into the service and working for B.L.I.S. as
operatives to endeavor
shutting down the Ensecksis. Physically attracted to each
other, Abel and
Jane work side by side as operatives while Jane is giving
in to her sexual
fantasies.
This search and spy story is full of imagintive,
ingenious little gadgets
to keep the reader on their toes. Lynsay Sands makes THE
LOVING DAYLIGHTS so amusing
while keeping you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed
this creation,
which kept me amused throughout with all the techy gadgets
and the
way this woman used them. Her characters are extremely
colorful and
unusual and do not fail to keep the reader glued to each
and every word.
I definitely recommend THE LOVING DAYLIGHTS for a most
clever and enjoyable read.
Shy Jane Spyrus loves gadgets. She can build anything
B.L.I.S.S. needs in the international organization's fight
against crime—although its agents aren't exactly lining up
at her door. Some of them think her inventions are a
little
too . . . well, innovative. Like her shrink-wrap
prophylactic constraints or her spray-on truth serum.
Of course, you can't use wacky inventions to fix all your
problems; Jane knows that better than anyone. Her neighbor
has been kidnapped, driving that point home. She will have
to team up with another human being—and Abel Andretti
arrives just in time. He will help Jane find her neighbor,
stop a villain, and, most of all, he will show Jane how to
love the daylights out of something without batteries.
