This highly topical technothriller blends mystery
and suspense in multiple plotlines. Vivid characters abound in sharply researched
Mediterranean settings with technology, cyberwarfare and nautical content, all in the context
of international politics, the upsurge of Islamist terrorism and Chinese expansionism in
Africa. There are plenty of soft terrorist targets – and there is plenty of weaponry
available after the fall of Gadaffi and the chaos in
Libya.
Steve Baldwin has sailed to Crete in his
search for a quiet life, still licking his wounds after a near-fatal assignment in the Red Sea. The
Royal Marines had been his family, but now he is alone – until he meets Helena, a sultry Greek
waitress with many secrets.
To avoid entanglement, Baldwin sets sail for Malta where he is dragged
kicking into the pursuit of a psychopathic female assassin – Maruška Pavkovic – with whom he shares
some painful, bloody history. Can he ever escape these two clever, dangerous and demanding women –
one of whom he is ordered to kill?
Islamist terrorism is spreading across the Sicilian Channel from the
Maghreb into the soft underbelly of Europe – and Malta, with its Crusader history, is a key
target. Abu ben-Zhair, the merciless terrorist master planner, is upping the stakes and
religion is just one lever in his lust for power.
The chase – and the women – are more complex than Baldwin could ever have
imagined.
