Plot Summary of The Legend of Banzai Maguire
"In the year 2006, Bree "Banzai" Maguire is a U.S. Air Force pilot. While on a mission in North Korea, she and her best friend, a fellow pilot, get caught by a scientist. The scientist needs subjects for his experiments, which involve putting people in bio-stasis. He planned to wake them both up only a week or so later, but Banzai wakes up in 2176. The world has changed a lot, and Banzai has become a symbol to people. Everyone wants her, because they want to use her, and Banzai is caught between two men - Kyber, the Emperor Prince of Asia, and Ty Armstrong, the SEAL commander who woke her up. Kyber seem perfect, but Banzai can't seem to feel anything for him other than gratitude. She definitely feels more for Ty, but that's not going to stop her from using him to try and find her best friend, who may still be in bio-stasis somewhere. She will have to decide who she really wants to be with, however: Kyber or Ty."
Melissa Cookson, Resident Scholar
