THE RACE AGAINST TIME AND TERROROff the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, heads of state are gathering for a world conference that could very well be their last. Their hotel is the pinnacle of luxury-and the perfect terrorist target. A rogue agent and his power-hungry madmen are preparing to launch the ultimate weapon-even as they hunt relentlessly for the only two people who can stop this catastrophe. And aboard a museum piece World War II PT boat in the Pacific, a maverick American scientist and a beautiful, brash TV anchorwoman must win a race against all the odds... before the future of the world spins out of control.
