It's not a book, it's not a video -- it's a vook!

NEW YORK CITY
Early one spring morning on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Jack Kidd bursts into the Greek embassy with a beautiful woman handcuffed to his side. He threatens to blow up himself and his hostage if his demands aren't met.
OFF THE COAST OF CONNECTICUT
Eileen Mason, her three young daughters, and her wealthy father are in the midst of a 3-day sailing trip from Maine to New York. Little do they know, a bomb has been planted on board and they are under constant surveillance from an invisible adversary.
NEW YORK CITY
FBI agent Ryan Kelley has been dispatched to oversee hostage negotiations. Unbeknownst to his supervisors or colleagues, he has a deep and personal connection not only to the woman being held captive, but to the man who has put her life in danger. He will have to break all the rules to see this crisis doesn't turn into a catastrophe.
So many lives at stake -- and they are all the pawns of one man, a solitary figure who lingers at the back of the crowd gathered outside the Greek embassy. What does he really want? A legendary object of immense power that lies hidden in the basement of the embassy. An object that he is willing to kill in order to obtain.
Embassy vook is a surprising and utterly original thriller that blends a dash of fantasy with page-turning suspense.
An entirely new concept, a vook blends text and video into a single, complete story. With a vook you can read your book, watch videos that highlight key moments in the story view visual how-to's and connect with authors and other readers. And you do it all in one place!
