About The Ultimate Rush
"Bomb Deactivator. Crack Dealer. Swat Rifleman. My job will kill you faster than any of these. And it won't just kill you; it'll crush you to a pulpy clot on the streets of San Francisco."
Chet Griffin, convicted computer hacker and San Francisco's fastest rollerblading messenger, was given a simple assignment. But that delivery turned deadly. On a routine run, Chet's messenger co-worker is murdered, and Chet barely escapes with his life. Turns out the package Chet was carrying contained a computer disk worth a cool billion. Chet enlists the help of his blue-haired skateboarder-chick buddy and his disabled superhacker roommate. Soon Chet is running for his life and wondering what price he'll pay for the ultimate rush.
