Summary

Author Philip Robinson blends reality with a dose of the outlandish in this fast-paced thriller:Kraken Corporation is too big to fail...or control. Spreading its tentacles into every profit centre around the globe--oil, gold, diamonds--it takes what it wants and leaves behind a path of death and destruction.When Emma Baine, heir to Kraken, publicly announces her intention to end the corporation#146;s history of profiteering, murder, and monopoly, a bomb explodes on the rostrum, killing her instantly. To her brother Carson, it#146;s the perfect punch line to Emma#146;s childish statement. He took out his sister, and now he#146;s going to take over the firm.Using Kraken#146;s "private security force," a mercenary army that rolls over every obstacle to profitability, and the USS Alcatraz, an old Russian nuclear sub retrofitted into a gargantuan underwater prison, Carson imprisons everyone he perceives as an enemy--while the highest figures in government turn a blind eye.But there#146;s one obstacle Carson can#146;t grind under his heel: an ex-Marine named Vaughan. As Emma#146;s former lover and bodyguard, Vaughn is tough, smart...and very angry.
