Reaction — Gerald M. Kilby

Surveillance expert Charles Gardner arrives in Monaco to spend a few days with his daughter, who's covering the launch of the new ITER fusion reactor for a major news channel. But that night, in the darkness of the harbour, he sees something he shouldn't -- the brutal murder of a young woman on-board a luxury super yacht.

When local Inspector, Madelaine Duchamp, is forced to drop the investigation in to the murder, Charles decides to use his own particular set of skills, and uncovers a plot to blow up the massive reactor before it goes live. Now it's no longer just about the murder on-board the yacht, it's not even about the reactor. For Charles, it's about the life of his daughter who's on-site, in the control room - a target of the attack.

With time running out, and hunted by deadly insect-drones, Charles must find a way to avert this catastrophe. Otherwise, his daughter will be dead along with hundreds of others -- and the south of France will become an irradiated wasteland.
