2000s: A haunted man. A murdered friend. A deadly enemy.
Dan Taylor’s career as a bomb disposal expert in the British Army ended when an IED killed three of his team and left him scarred for life. Years later, and on the brink of self-destruction, Dan struggles to cope with the nightmares that haunt him.
Until the day an estranged friend leaves a voicemail message for him, moments before he is assassinated in cold blood.
Plunged into a global conspiracy, Dan must unravel the research notes that Peter Edgewater left behind and locate an explosive device that is being smuggled towards London by a secretive organisation hell-bent on protecting its assets – and time is running out
The pace and range of locations is fast and furious here. Starting in Iraq and then heading to Oxford, London with visits to Berlin and Brisbane and a stint in Singapore before arriving in the arctic ocean, this is one whirlwind tour. Locations are visited quickly and are blurry background since the gold industry is what links them all together. The places described are vague but are enough to paint a picture of the world tour Dan goes on and the pressures of travelling from one county to another on this type of secret and dangerous mission.
The novel looks at how terrorism can influence marketforces and the real power of the corporate giants who own and control the world’s supply of minerals, gold and other commodities.
