Spies On Electric Vehicle Expedition

Press release

Glonn, Germany, Feb 6th, 2014

Book Cover Project Black HungarianIn 2013, the world’s largest electric vehicle rally WAVE was not only home to pioneers and enthusiasts, but also served as model for a new novel from Capscovil. The goal of the publisher is to support the adoption of EVs with a suspense-packed story.

Project Black Hungarian is the first book to showcase a new concept by Capscovil: Real events and visited locations from WAVE 2013 are woven into a suspense-packed spy story that also takes current global developments into account. A major focus is on topics around electric vehicles and renewable energies. Many participants agreed to serve as models for the characters in the book. A special delicacy, if you will, is that through the eyes of the spy characters, the reader can take a clandestine peek at how today’s intelligence agencies operate. Suffice to say, it’s a good thing there are responsible agents working against them.

Another new aspect of the concept is that authors Niall MacRoslin and Alice N. York have developed the story together but are writing their own versions in their respective languages.

The spy novel is targeted for publication in summer 2014. The book will be available internationally both in English and German, in print and electronically.

More information on the project and first reading samples can be found here:  http://blackhungarian.com

Capscovil offers several possibilities for companies to cooperate or enter into a partnership for this novel. For more information contact the publisher directly at projects [at] capscovil.com.

Description

The Board for Industrial Research and Development has been shaping major political decisions since 1929. You haven’t heard of them because no-one has. They’re efficient, discreet and ultra-professional. Working under the guise of a multi-faceted consultancy firm.

But a new threat to their customers means all that could be about to change. After much deliberation, a decision has been made.

A new technology is to be tested in an extensive field trial, and the electric car expedition WAVE offers the perfect cover. Naturally, BIRD has no desire to see it succeed. The usual countermeasures are taken and a team is dispatched. The mission is to be low-key, no more than a routine training exercise: an opportunity for BIRD to blood the next generation of field operatives. There is, it seems, little that can go wrong.

But the new recruits are young and impulsive; quick to act when caution should be the name of the game. One bad decision leads to another, and soon the mission is spiraling out of control. What BIRD doesn’t know is that there is another elite force on the scene, a crack unit sent by security agency High Society Guards to protect the technology and its engineer.

Suddenly, all eyes are on WAVE.

About WAVE Trophy:

WAVE – World Advanced Vehicle Expedition – is the world’s largest electric vehicle rally and has been organized by Swiss solar pioneer Louis Palmer since 2011. Only vehicles with an electric motor are allowed to take part. Hybrids must seal their gas tanks, while drivers of electric bicycles rely only on power generated by their bodies. In 2013, WAVE ran across the Alps from Vienna to Zurich from Jun 29th to July 7th. On July 6th, WAVE together with a total of 305 vehicles, set the world record for the largest electric vehicle parade, documented in the Guinness book of records.

In 2014, WAVE will run from Stuttgart via Munich to Switzerland from May31st to June 7th.
