Undersea Prison
3 journalers for this copy...
Picked this one up in a box of brand new books I bought on ebay for release. Hopefully this one will be found and enjoyed by a new reader!
Synopsis...
'After the British military lose an officer to Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, a desperate race begins to find his killers. Little do the assailants know that the precious information they have stolen could bring down the entire network of Western intelligence in the Mid-East. But then one of them is captured by US troops and flown to the States for interrogation. And so begins a nail-biting, claustrophobic and explosive thriller that will ultimately lead British operative John Stratton to the Styx penitentiary, America's undersea prison. How do you break in to a jail a hundred metres below the ocean? Can Stratton get the information back without the US discovering him? And is everyone in the prison really who they seem to be? With its labyrinthine narrative and authentic detail, its CIA plots and White House agents, this fourth thriller in the Stratton series will catapult Duncan Falconer right back into the top tier.'

I 'caught' this book at Sun Theatre, Yarraville, on 28/06/08 while waiting in line for a movie. I wish I could say I was in line to see 'The Counterfeiters' (which I did actually see 2 weeks previously), however, no, I was in line for 'Sex And The City'. My friend who had gone off to buy a drink thought I had purchased the book from the nearby book store! Hadn't heard about BookCrossing so was very excited to find the book and to find out that something like this even existed. I started up a book/wine club 4 years ago and can't wait to let them all know about BookCrossing - although maybe they already do...
I didn't love the book but just being part of all of this made me love the experience. So this weekend I will be sending the book out "in the wild" and hoping that someone else like me will find it and that it will make their weekend, like it did mine. (Thanks lmn 60)

Not as good as other Duncan Falconer books. Purchased from second hand bookstore in Launceston April 2011.
