A fast paced story, "Caribbean Holiday" has all the ingredients of a perfect suspense thriller. Wealthy Arabs employ Sextus Durkin to kidnap Augustus Bishop, a rich, enterprising individual, who controls a large uranium mine. Bishop only sells to contractors erecting or maintaining power plants, not to anyone interested in developing weapons. However, many Arab nations are interested in the uranium in order to develop weapons grade atomic material. To complicate matters further, Bishop and Sextus are half-brothers by their father.
A lion and gorilla are involved in Sextus' risky power game. Neurosurgeons working in Bishop's South African Medical Laboratory implanted a twelve-month dry chip in the cerebrum of each animal. Because of the chips, both beasts follow voice commands and are traceable. Sextus' women add intrigue and mystery to the story. Moore packs his novel full of adventure, including a thrilling journey in Bishop's yacht and submarine and also escapades on St. Kitts Island. During these aquatic quests, the peculiar behavior of dolphins and sharks is noticed and becomes central to the plot. Conspiracy, casinos, brutal murders, and suspense, this thrilling novel is sure to keep its readers on the edge of their seat from the first to the last word.
