International shipping magnate Richard Mariner and his wife, Robin, are off on another dangerous and breathtaking escapade, this time in Africa. When their ship sails into Granville Harbour on the west coast of Africa, they are set to meet representatives from a Russian shipping conglomerate, but they are refused docking privileges. Then Richard is arrested by a phalanx of government militiamen and marched off to prison, where he learns that the unrest in the country is due to a power struggle between the rightful president and a usurper who has made secret deals to sell the country’s valuable natural resources. Kidnapping, torture, suicide bombings, a daring prison break, betrayal, political intrigue, and, eventually, a just if bloody end make for an exciting, entertaining swashbuckler that will appeal to action-adventure lovers everywhere. --Emily Melton
