Description |
: |
A proficiently intellectual action thriller that merges a contemporary
global terrorist scenario with a fascinating collection of episodes. The
execution of an atomic explosion on a South Pacific military base, the
assassination of a leading UK politician, and the hijacking of a new
space shuttle reveals someone has acquired plutonium and is executing a
sinister plot on civilization.
The victims targeted are predominantly
markedly primary bureaucrats, and it manages to illustrate how the
chilling terrorism affects them and the world as the affair untangles. It
starts with a sinister, explosive atmosphere, with a woman, partially
naked, sunbathing, in blazing hot sunshine, by herself, on a golden
desert island beach, on a South Pacific island, believed to be desolate,
with nobody for hundreds of miles. All around her, she is confronted
with dangers, and her worse fears, after men in speedboats suddenly
appear, and race ashore, nearby, and launch into battle, with powerful
military weapons, on a full scale assault on something, behind a sea
cliff. What's hidden away on the tiny uninhabited island? What could
be in such an isolated region? What could drive the men to go to such
limits and use such force and determination? Why do they all use
military equipment? Why do they attack the hidden enemy with such
fortitude that even when shot they continue on going?
