Madame O Robert Montagnese

What if a vacation in the Caribbean turned into an adventure that would bring you to places as glamorous as Paris, as exotic as Shanghai and, in the process results in saving the world? Would you jump on board for the adventure? In the story of Madame O that's exactly what takes place. Robert and his husband, John, visit their much-treasured St. John USVI and get caught up in a madcap world of intrigue and world policy. Discovery leads to a whirlwind chase to uncover a mystery that can help humanity. Along the way, they meet Simone who is central in solving this puzzle. Facing her past is not easy but Simone realizes that it is the only way she can gain back what is rightfully hers. The three join forces and devise a way to outwit government watchdogs while assembling the needed information to accomplish what they have set out to do. However, there are forces beyond their control that try to foil their attempt to succeed. The story unfolds in surprising and alluring locations all the while introducing a panoply of characters from near and far and where mistakes from the past are redeemed for the future. In the end, they all learn the value of a commitment to always do the right thing in a world where anything can happen. And it does. Madame O is Robert Montagnese's third novel. It is a fictional adventure loosely based on J. Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the Manhattan Project and inventor of the atom bomb. His legacy is altered by the characters in the story who realized that his discovery was good but, in the wrong hands could be used nefariously. Their efforts and a gift from one very special person will redeem him forever.
