Description
North America, Europe, Asia, the North Sea…
Nowhere is safe.
As the luxury cruise liner Adventurer weighs anchor in Charlestown, a world-wide spate of terrorist bombings break out.
Hotels, planes, naval bases and oil rigs, all are targeted simultaneously.
Casualties are high, and the world is outraged.
But not one terrorist group claims responsibility, and British fatalities are suspiciously slight…
Apparently disconnected, detectives at Scotland Yard delve deep and uncover a complex web that stretches right across the globe.
At its heart: the British-owned Adventurer… and the newly-elected Prime Minister.
They are horrified: the fate of the ship and the fate of a people are inextricably linked.
As the mysteries begin to unravel, the relationships of state begin to falter and more than one mind drifts towards the solitary figure of Tim Palmer.
Newly appointed Second Officer on the Adventurer, Palmer finds himself caught up in the middle of a high seas hijack.
Forced to alter course for the islands of the Antarctic, the passengers soon discover that not everyone is what they appear to be.
The clock is ticking…
In ‘Act of Terror’, a thrilling tale of intrigue and adventure, Richard Woodman raises the stakes in a plot filled with questions of loyalty, ambition and betrayal.
Praise for Richard Woodman:
“Will definitely win readers and whet appetites for the sequels” Booklist
Born in London in 1944, Richard Woodman crewed in a Tall Ships race before becoming an indentured midshipman in cargo-liners at the age of sixteen. He has sailed in a variety of ships, including weather ships, lighthouse tenders and trawlers, serving from apprentice to captain. He is the creator of Nathaniel Drinkwater and in 1978 he won The Maritime Society's Barbara Harmer Award for a work of original maritime history and is the author of seventeen novels. A member of the Society for Nautical Research and the Navy Records Society, in his spare time Richard sails an elderly gaff cutter with his wife and two children.
