Description:

Charles Corrigan works on high-tech devices to track terrorists plotting to hijack oil and gas supertankers in the Malacca Strait, while Sergeant Delisle Jackson hunts them in amongst the thousands of jungle-clad islands that border the Strait. On the other side of the world, thousands of computers search through vast databases for clues to what the terrorists plan. A tightly plotted and genuinely suspenseful, geopolitical thriller that combines page-turning action, with the role of technology in fighting terrorism, and the broader implications of the risks to world stability posed by maritime terrorism. Reader’s comments on the author’s previous novel, Autonomous Operation, included, “A ripsnorting good adventure.” “Wow, a real page turner.” “Once I started, I couldn’t stop.” “You have the suspense deal down pat.” “I stayed up to four a.m. to finish it.”
