<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Mandy: An Interstellar Romance</em> displays natural and aberrant relationships among a set of international characters capable of the highest nobility and the lowest behavior.</p><p>Set against the techno-spiritual bond between a scientist and his creation, the story considers the character of humanity that can demonstrate extreme malevolence, as well as ambivalent ethical nuance.</p><p>The cherished wife of a rich Iranian gunrunner is murdered by competitors. He sends his two sons, William and Alex, away to be brought up by their nanny. William becomes a rich businessman, while Alex develops into a world-renowned scientist, whose computerized robot, Mandy, is sent to explore the universe. Alex has been developing Mandy since his youth, carrying on a close man-machine relationship throughout the novel.</p><p>Growing up isolated from family, the brothers' devotion for each other is as close as possible. </p><p>Then a real woman enters the picture. The beautiful Yassi is a wholly amoral temptress who seduces men and takes their money. She has her sights set on both brothers.</p><p><strong>(About the Author)</strong></p><p>Dr. Parand Alavi was born in Iran, grew up in Iraq, and attended medical school in France. She took up residence in northern Virginia 45 years ago, after passing a Board of Internal Medicine examination for practice in America. In 2002, Dr. Alavi began painting as a hobby. Her subjects most often dealt with Kurdish women dressed in their traditionally colorful garments. However, writing has come easier. Her first five Persian novels, <em>The Empty Balloon, Mirage of Freedom, </em> <em>Broken Mast, Two Straw, </em> and <em>Dandelion</em> are widely popular in Iran. <em>Dandelions and Roses - A Contemporary Persian Romance</em> is the English translation of <em>Dandelion.</em> A translation of the autobiographic <em>Two Straw</em> is planned for release soon.</p><p> </p>
