China Star - Maurice Medland - Bog

An ex-navy officer performs a daring sea rescue in this international thriller from "one of the best adventure writers today. A master storyteller." (Clive Cussler, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Dirk Pitt adventure series) When Elizabeth Grayson stumbles upon confidential intel while doing medical research in China, her quiet life turns to terror. Imprisoned in a labor camp on an isolated island, the senator's daughter struggles with her horrifying new knowledge that China is planning an attack against the United States. Worse, scientific advances in her own work may have helped make China's powerful new weapon against America possible. Matt Connor's location on a salvage boat in the Pacific Ocean may have landed him the lucrative job of rescuing a politician's daughter from prison, but once the ex-navy officer has Elizabeth Grayson on his ship, he's bound with her in a deadly game of survival. With the Chinese government determined to launch a weapon of mass destruction before their secret offensive is revealed, both Matt and Elizabeth's lives are on the line--along with the fate of the American people. ". . . a thrilling novel of international intrigue . . . A tense and riveting adventure from cover to cover." --Midwest Book Review
