At a reception hosted by a notorious Russian black marketer, Doc Ford uses both darkness and his friend Tomlinson as cover to get an underwater look at the billionaire’s yacht. By the time Ford surfaces, everything has changed. Environmental extremists have taken control of the island. Or are they thugs hired by the Russian’s competitors? Whatever-they have herded everyone together and threatened to kill one hostage every hour until midnight unless their demands are met. And if not, they’ll just blow everybody up. Electronic jammers cut off the outside world. The only hope here is that the militants do not know Ford’s capabilities, or that he is still on the loose….
