Synopsis

The gripping third book in the internationally bestselling Thomas Prescott series.Intimate in scale, but grandly outfitted, the luxury cruise liner The Afrikaans hosts no more than 208 pampered guests, among them; former FBI contract agent Thomas Prescott. When the ship is overtaken by African pirates who are demanding the U.S. send medical relief to a small Zulu village in South Africa, it’s up to Prescott to keep the hostages alive.As the U.S. tries to figure out how to combat the terrorists’ plot from the outside, World Health Organization doctor, Gina Brady, undertakes the impossible task of rescuing three children from the secluded Zulu village. With the deadline drawing near, Prescott and Brady must race against the clock to discover the truth; is it medical relief the pirates seek or a two billion dollar ransom from one of the richest men in the world? Or could the implications be so profound, and the stakes so high, a war hangs in the balance…

Pirog's writing has definitely grown up since the second Prescott book - and Prescott has, as well. Better research and fewer flaws, unless you know anything about South Africa, less blatant misogyny. Still, lots of racism, sexism, and body judgement.......more

Goodreads review by Jason on December 07, 2021

The USA is the number one contributor to ARV drugs in South Africa. That factoid should have come up in the author's research (it certainly came up during the one week I spent in South Africa a few years ago).
