Publisher's summary

Scientist Alex McAuliff has been hired by Dunstone, Ltd. for $2 million to survey the geology of Jamaica's dark interior. But his reception to the island is far from warm. Someone wants him dead - but who?

When British Intelligence learns of Alex's mission they let him in on a little secret - the last survey team never made it home. And Alex is left with only one clue to survival, a single mysterious word: Halidon.

Abridged, and badly at that

Love Ludlum, but hate abridged - didn’t realize that was what I was getting. Even getting it on sale, it was a ripoff.

The story is dated, which I don’t mind. (In the 1970s, “black” was beautiful, not a racial slur..) American protagonist, nebulous bad guys, British intelligence, and Jamaican politics. Danger, mystery, and intrigue. Should be fun but it’s impossible to follow and undeveloped characters make it hard to care.

I have no problems with the narrator. None of this is his fault.

GET THE UNABRIDGED!!!
