CONVERGENCE

ON THE 42ND PARALLEL

TWO PEOPLE. TWO GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS.
ONE DATE WITH DESTINY.

… set them on a collision course in a rapidly converging story, mix-in a navy ship on a week-long visit to a foreign port, add local politicians, activists, and the media – and the ingredients are there for an epic edge-of-your-seat suspense-thriller with a climax and ending you won’t see coming.

“.. devastating climax”

“Gripping story!”

“I loved this book!”

“a real page-turner”

About the story

“The pilot raised her helmet visor, and his seething eyes locked in on hers. She shook her head from side to side and made a slashing motion across her throat…”

Is Lieutenant Commander Katherine Marlowe about to make a catastrophic mistake?

 

Is Ben Cai’s unthinkable mission destined to succeed?

 

Their next sixty seconds will tell …

Katherine Marlowe and Ben Cai were born on opposite sides of the world and have lived different yet parallel lives. Their destinies converge as simmering geopolitical tensions draw them together in a friendly harbour a long way from anywhere. Their actions will ultimately shake this place and reverberate across the world.


CONVERGENCE ON THE 42ND PARALLEL is a thriller on an international scale—a tale of those who serve on the seas, in the skies, and in secret. It reveals the power-wielding few, the technologies of modern warfare at their fingertips, and those who spin their truth. It is also a story of humanity—of place and belonging, of family and relationships, and of personal sacrifice.

A well-researched page turner that offers more than a good plot and engaging characters.

To leave me feeling sad, angry, emotional long after the reading is finished. In my lifetime only a few novels have had this effect on me and Convergence on the 42nd Parallel is one of them.

With multiple story arcs converging on Hobart, Tasmania, he makes you care about the characters and understand their motivations. The intertwining of the plots is deft and the climax devastating.

The people causing the tension, action, surprise, and drama are much more than vehicles for the exciting plot. They have good reasons for their choices. We may not agree but we understand. Thrilling action that matters by people we know.

The shaping of individuals by family and culture as well as universal values are subtly woven into the story, forming a background for exploration of good and evil that avoids casting characters as saints or villains.
