Description
Commander Geoffrey Peace is the only man for the job when the nukes are missing. Sent undercover to the Southern tip of Africa, he must infiltrate a hard-right Afrikaner movement that refuses to accept the new democratic South Africa. As Lord Digby Brentwood, Peace must navigate a complex web of politics and sabotage to find and disarm the stolen nuclear warheads. His mission is complicated by the presence of a covert MI6 agent, Cherry Boxx, who has been paired with him to ensure his safety. Together, they must traverse treacherous landscapes and stay one step ahead of their enemies to save the country from a threat it didn't realise was right on its doorstep. The hard-right Afrikaner movement, led by industrialist Anton Van Rhyn, has hijacked gold bullion shipments to finance their insurrection and sabotage the decommissioning of South Africa's nuclear arsenal. With the help of Peace and Boxx, they must find and recover a shipment of gold that lies buried in the ocean on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. This tense and thrilling tale of espionage and adventure takes the reader on a perilous journey across Africa's treacherous landscapes. As Peace and Boxx work to unravel the mystery of the missing nukes, they must also contend with the harsh realities of their mission. With their lives on the line, they must use all their skills and resources to stay alive and complete their mission.
