Unparalleled Heights — V. Bertolaccini

A new proficiently intellectually reasoned action thriller that merges a contemporary global terrorist incidence with a fascinating collection of complex episodes. The assault and execution of an atomic explosion at a South Pacific military base, the assassination of a leading UK politician, and the sabotage and hijacking of a new space shuttle reveals someone has acquired a mass of plutonium and is executing a sinister plot against civilization, which mankind has avoided until now. It starts with a sinister, explosive atmosphere, with a woman, partially naked, sunbathing, in blazing hot sunshine, by herself, on a golden desert island beach, on a South Pacific island, believed to be desolate, with nobody for hundreds of miles. All around her, she is confronted with dangers, and her worse fears, after men in speedboats suddenly appear, and race ashore, nearby, and launch into battle, with powerful military weapons, on a full scale assault on something, behind a sea cliff. What's hidden away on the tiny uninhabited island? What could be in such an isolated region? What could drive the men to go to such limits and use such force and determination? Why do they all use military equipment? Why do they attack the hidden enemy with such fortitude that even when shot they continue on going?
