Thorp, the author of Nothing Lasts Forever, which was made into the movie “Die Hard” gives us a short novel filled with excitement and the fast moving action of that book.
Sam Merrill, a young Coast Guard Lt Commander comes upon a yacht filled with a fortune in gold, money, and contraband and becomes a national hero for his find. As a reward for the discovery the US government sends him and his wife Amy on an all expense paid trip to the Bahamas. Enjoying themselves and their 15 minutes of fame, Sam and Amy become turned on their heads when out of the blue, they are attacked by terrorists who succeed in kidnapping Amy. From a dream situation Sam finds himself in the nightmare of finding and rescuing his wife.
The reasons for the attack on them while on vacation become apparent when his search takes him to Cartagena Columbia and into the lair of an international drug ring. Action follows action as the reader is catapulted into the nightmare with the Merrills and caught up in a rapidly moving stay up all night book with back and forth action and reaction between all sides.
A definite must read and one which again stamps Thorp as a writer to welcome again and again as his books come out.
