Seizing power after a military coup, Indonesia's aggressive new dictator, dubbed 'the Tiger of Asia', has banned all ocean-research ships inside a 200-mile exclusion zone. Threatened by a tottering economy and boiling racial tension at home, he has started to illegally mine the ocean floor. But for what purpose?
Nicole Tai-Chung, a young science journalist, is sent from London to find out. She successfully infiltrates the secret oceanographic base, only to find herself in deadly danger as she uncovers the sinister truth. Thereafter, her mission escalates rapidly into a new dimension - a race against time to prevent something wholly terrifying ... the world's first environmental war.
In this powerful vision of the future, knife-edged action and breath-taking scenarios combine to create a geophysical thriller of shocking proportions.
