Synopsis

Tim Blackburn's wife died in a ball of flame in the Channel, victim of a mystery bomber. His son had died years earlier in Northern Ireland, killed in a terrorist attack. And his daughter Nicole had vanished in the North Pacific after joing an outlawed organisation called Genesis dedicated to saving the planet, by violence if necessary.

The police think Nicole might have been involved in the death of her mother, but Tim won't believe it. And he means to prove it.

With nothing else to live for, Tim goes in search of Nicole in his yacht Stormchild. He hopes to rescue her from the clutches of Genesis. But where would a secretive organization of ruthless environmentalists hide? And even if he does find Nicole, will he be a welcome visitor?

From the Back Cover:

Tragedy has decimated Tim Blackburn's safe and comfortable existence. Having already lost a son in a terrorist attack, he must now cope with the death of his beloved wife, killed in a mysterious explosion at sea. And all that remains of his destroyed family is his missing daughter Nicole, last seen in the company of Caspar von Rellsteb—the mad, charismatic leader of the shadowy environmental activist group called Genesis—who keeps an iron-fisted hold over his fanatically dedicated followers. Determined to free Nicole from the crazed, self-proclaimed "protector of the planet," Tim sets sail aboard the sloop Stormchild, with the beautiful, story-hungry journalist Jackie Potten. But their hunt for the hidden lair of Genesis is leading them into dangerous and terrifying waters—and the darkness that waits for Tim Blackburn on the far side of the world could destroy both his sanity and his soul.
