Paperback. In the oil-rich swamps of Nigeria's Delta State, a high-stakes mission unfolds that could alter the fate of a nation. Lieutenant Amaka Adesegun, an elite soldier from the Nigerian Navy's Special Boat Service, is thrust into the heart of darkness to rescue kidnapped Chinese oil engineer Li Chang. With the shadow of a $2 million ransom looming, Amaka's journey is personal. The Delta's suffering mirrors her own family's tragedies, driving her relentless pursuit for justice. Amaka is not alone. Her trusted second-in-command, Sub-lieutenant Abiola Chukwudi, and the brave Ozioma Oluwole, stand by her side. Together, they navigate a treacherous path fraught with danger from ruthless militants, foreign mercenaries, and the corrupt grasp of Chief Kayode Festus, a politician whose dark machinations know no bounds. Amidst the chaos, an unexpected ally emerges from the local communities, Amina Abraka, whose knowledge of the Delta's labyrinthine waterways could turn the tide of their mission. But Li Chang holds a secret, a revelation so powerful that it draws the attention of global powers. As Amaka and her team delve deeper, they find themselves entangled in a web of espionage, political intrigue, and an environmental catastrophe waiting to explode. The race against time is on, not just to save Li Chang, but to prevent a disaster that could devastate the Delta and ignite geopolitical tensions. "DERAR (Delta Extraction: Race Against Ransom)" plunges readers into a world where loyalty is tested, and survival is not guaranteed. Set against the backdrop of Nigeria's stunning yet strife-torn Delta region, this high-octane thriller captures the essence of heroism, sacrifice, and the relentless fight for justice. Fans of action-packed narratives filled with intricate plotting and emotional depth, akin to the suspenseful excursions found in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series or the gritty realism of "Blood Diamond," will find themselves riveted. Prepare to be taken on a journey where every decision could mean the difference between life and death, where the line between right and wrong blurs, and where the spirit of the Delta-beautiful, battered, but unbowed-comes fiercely alive. This is not just a story of extraction; it's a race against ransom, corruption, and the ticking clock of fate. This item is printed on demand.

In this gripping African Political Thriller, an elite SBS team must engage in high-stakes Military Action to extract a whistleblower from the heart of the Niger Delta.
One mission. One whistleblower. A conspiracy that could set the Delta ablaze.
Amaka Adesegun is the best the Nigerian Special Boat Service has to offer. But when she is dropped into the humid, oil-slicked labyrinth of Gbaramatu Creek, she isn't just fighting insurgents. She’s fighting a clock that is ticking toward a global catastrophe.
Li Chang holds the digital keys to UranoCorp’s darkest secrets—evidence of corporate greed and environmental devastation that powerful men will kill to keep buried. He is a ghost in the mangroves, and the Delta’s most ruthless militant faction is closing in.
Survival is not a guarantee. It is a tactical choice.
As the mission spirals into a chaotic race against ransom, Amaka and her team must navigate:
-
Lethal Jungle Warfare: Where the environment is as deadly as the enemy.
-
Political Treachery: High-level betrayal that reaches from the creeks of Warri to the halls of power in Abuja.
-
A Moral Crossroads: Where the line between "soldier" and "survivor" disappears in the smoke of gas flares.
In the tradition of Tom Clancy and Frederick Forsyth, but with a raw, Afro-realist edge, Delta Extraction: Race Against Ransom is a high-octane journey into the heart of modern espionage.
The Delta doesn’t forget. And it never lets go without a fight.
What Readers Are Saying:
