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.
