The Deadliest Menace

A 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.
The victims targeted are predominantly markedly primary bureaucrats, and it manages to illustrate how the chilling terrorism affects them and the world as the affair untangles.
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 no humans for hundreds of miles.
All around her she is confronted with dangers and her worse fears when men in speedboats suddenly race ashore nearby and launch into battle, with the most powerful military weapons, on a full scale assault on something hidden behind a sea cliff.
What's hidden on the tiny uninhabited island? 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?
