The two men travel by dive boat to Terumbu Island, unaware of the others they will soon encounter, including an American CIA station chief, an environmental-studies professor, and the captain of the professor's research vessel. But Terumbu holds other secrets], something far more dangerous and much more valuable than the island's cache of old silver. <p/> Nicholai Anisimova, a former Russian army intelligence officer, is the leader of a group of dissatisfied comrades who threaten international order in their quest to transform Siberia into a new Russia. However, in order to purchase arms and equipment to begin their revolution and occupation of Siberia, the group will need money. To finance the recovery of resources from a sunken Japanese submarine, Anisimova secures the sponsorship of a Chinese industrialist who does not trust the Russians and decides to monitor the recovery himself. <p/> Havok and his partner soon find themselves involved in a conflict, refereed by an unknown, seldom-seen island hermit that escalates into a bitter struggle between survivors and pirates. What begins as a simple holiday for two men on a treasure hunt ends with a far-ranging battle that spills beyond the borders of the South China Sea, embroiling world leaders and placing the population of a nation at risk. <p/> <b>"A thrilling and fun adventure built on excellent use of details sprinkled with comedic relief." -- Kendra Kennedy, Senior Archaeologist </b> <p/> <b>"Abrahamson's excellent use of technical details trickled throughout the storyline provides for an authentic, and fast-paced, adventure at every turn of the page." -- Siska Williams, Senior Archaeologist</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<b>A suspenseful tale of adventure</b> that transports readers into a world of spies, business tycoons, Russian commandos, and the tortured innocent.
