The Switch - Audio CD - Abridged Author:Sandra Brown, Jan Maxwell (Narrator) In THE SWITCH the twins are Gillian and Melina Lloyd, who are identical, almost interchangeable. Both are successful businesswomen. Both are single. But in one regard there is a dissimilarity: — They share the same impulses, but Melina acted on them. She plunged headfirst off the high diving board. Gillian would stand with her toes curled over th... more »e end of it until dared to dive in.
Another difference between them is that Gillian wants a child. Feeling her biological clock ticking, she opts to undergo artificial insemination using donor sperm. The story opens on the day she is inseminated.
The male protagonist is Christopher "Chief" Hart. He is the first Native American astronaut, NASA's poster boy, a national figure. In Dallas to collect an award, Chief's media escort is Melina Lloyd. Or is it?
Chief's life first collides, then becomes intertwined with that of the twins. A seemingly harmless prank results in disaster. And what appears at first to be an open-and-shut murder investigation, ultimately leads to a compound in the mountains of New Mexico where a madman is engineering his "new world order." If he's only partially successful, the consequences would be catastrophic and global in scope.
