In the early hours of October 13, 2002, Australian spy Alan 'Mac' McQueen is jolted awake and told to head immediately to Bali, where more than two hundred people have been killed in a series of bomb blasts. Descending into Denpasar, Mac finds tensions running high between MI6, ASIS and the CIA, not to mention Indonesian intel and police. Assigned to keep watch on the forensic scientists working the bomb site Mac learns that, contrary to the official line, one of the blasts may have been caused by a mini-nuke. While trying to glean the motives for misleading the public, Mac pursues a shady group of businessmen-terrorists through the wilds of west Java and into Sumatra. But the trail goes dead when the terrorists flee Sumatra in an unmarked plane. Back in Australia some time later, Mac is horrified to discover a link between the Bali bombings and a Muslim terrorist cell based in Australia. With ever-increasing tension he trails members of the cell through the Australian outback before a thrilling denouement in a populous Australian city ... In this action-packed and gripping sequel to Golden Serpent, Mark Abernethy confirms his mastery of the thriller genre.
