Intelligence agent Alan "Mac" McQueen is back—and putting his life on the line to fight the forces who will stop at nothing to destroy the independence movement in East Timor In the action-packed and gripping sequel to Second Strike, super-spy Alan McQueen is pulled out of a deep-cover assignment to find an agent who's missing. It sounds like a straightforward operation but, as he digs deeper, he discovers a faction of Indonesia's army plotting against the East Timorese. From the paranoia of Dili to guerrilla-infested jungles to the machinations of Canberra, Mac finds himself in a world of murder and torture where he must forge alliances with his rivals just to stay alive. Fighting the good fight, Mac discovers a plot to use a deadly ethno-bomb which kills only native East Timorese—who don't share the ethnicity of most Indonesians. As the clock ticks Mac has a life-defining choice: walk away or double back.
