Chat is the story of two people who "meet" online while cruising one of the world's largest information networks. Bev, a tough-minded book editor who has been logging online for years, cautiously begins corresponding with Maximilian, a flamboyant and restless advertising copywriter who strikes up an e-mail conversation with her. Bev and Max's relationship gradually becomes more intense as the story unfolds entirely through their electronic messages.
Readers cannot resist the temptation to eavesdrop on Bev and Max's intimate correspondence as she slowly becomes less inhibited and he grows more and more fascinated by her. Two people who are at first faceless, ageless, and voiceless come vibrantly alive through their sometimes serious, sometimes entertaining, yet always believable correspondence with each other. A tantalizing adventure, Chat brings romance into the age of technology with some startling results.
