Add to basketNic D'Alessandro, Nic D'Alessandro. TWO PEOPLE. TWO GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS. ONE DATE WITH DESTINY. . set them on a collision course in a rapidly converging story, mix-in a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier on a week-long visit to an allied port, add local politicians, activists, and the media - and the ingredients are there for an epic edge-of-your-seat suspense-thriller with a climax and ending you won't see coming. 'The pilot raised her helmet visor, and his seething eyes locked in on hers. She shook her head from side to side and made a slashing motion across her throat.' Is Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Marlowe about to make a catastrophic mistake? Is Ben Cai's unthinkable mission destined to succeed? Their next sixty seconds will tell. Katherine Marlowe and Ben Cai were born on opposite sides of the world and have lived different yet parallel lives. Their destinies converge as simmering geopolitical tensions draw them together in a friendly harbour a long way from anywhere. Their actions will ultimately shake this place and reverberate across the world. CONVERGENCE ON THE FORTY-SECOND PARALLEL is a thriller on an international scale-a tale of those who serve on the seas, in the skies, and in secret. It reveals the power-wielding few, the technologies of modern warfare at their fingertips, and those who spin their truth. It is also a story of humanity-of place and belonging, of family and relationships, and of personal sacrifice.

… the book was very exciting with an explosive and satisfying ending.
Melanie (Bookworm Reviews) ★★★★★
This could also make another great futuristic US Navy thriller movie, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind … an easy rating of 5 stars.
Tony (Goodreads reviewer) ★★★★★
A great blend of action and technical detail mixed with some great characters and a completely plausible plot.
