TWO PEOPLE. TWO GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS. ONE DATE WITH DESTINY. ... set them on a collision course in a rapidly converging story, mix-in a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier on a week-long visit to an allied 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. '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 Lt. Cmdr. 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 FORTY-SECOND 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.
Autorenporträt
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
