Inhaltsangabe

Of the many aircraft carriers built by the United States since World War II, none have been successfully attacked by an aggressor. Not yet, that is.

It is the final port call during the first deployment of a new US Navy aircraft carrier. There is no better place for a week of shore leave than an allied port way down south on the 42nd parallel. It’s quiet, friendly, out-of-the-way—perfect—because nothing ever happens here.

But the location is ideal for another nation too—a superpower with strategic ambitions. It is perfect for an unthinkable attack where the Americans would not expect, at a time they could not predict, and in a way they never thought possible.

The parallel lives of a US Navy helicopter commander and a Chinese/North-Korean spy will converge and collide in this very place. Her unshakable resolve will meet his unstoppable intent in an epic edge-of-your-seat showdown. Their decisions and actions will shake this place, reverberate across the world, and alter the course of history.

CONVERGENCE ON THE 42ND PARALLEL is a spy, military, and aviation thriller on an international scale. It reveals the power-wielding few, the technologies at their fingertips, and those who spin their truth. It is a story of humanity—of the power of national identity, the intense pull of family bonds, and of individuals thrust into the impossible where right and wrong are nowhere to be found.

Only one person and only one nation can prevail … which will it be?

… 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.

A great blend of action and technical detail mixed with some great characters and a completely plausible plot.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born and bred on an island state, I write about the land, sea, sky and people. I'm fascinated by the human condition, crazy on anything that floats or flies, and passionate about the beauty and value of true wilderness.I'm into writing character-based dramas, thrillers with depth, and stories that dig deep into what it means to be human. I enjoy a meaty theme or two, and I subtly weave contemporary issues into my books when it suits. When I'm not writing, I earn a living as an education consultant, specialist in the aviation industry, and aerial and landscape photographer. In previous lives I've been a manager in the public sector and an educational leader in the university sector.In my spare time I'm a keen sailor and I take to the sky in aircraft whenever I can. I obtained my pilot licence at age seventeen, and later celebrated my forties by building a full-size 737 flight simulator in my garage.I live in Tasmania, Australia with my wife, and extended family.See my author website at https://nicdalessandro.com
