A HIDDEN CHINESE NAVAL BASE AND SOME UNEXPECTED VISITORS... It began innocently enough - a detour to catch a glimpse of Mischief, once a reef, now one of the new Chinese naval bases built from ruins on the floor of the South China Sea. All Brie remembered was the looming frigate, their own yacht reduced to splinters in an instant and Johnny shouting in horror from the cabin as everything was engulfed in black ocean foam. Then the sand, a thirst and not knowing what was to come... The Islands challenges the repercussions of global politics, the exploitation of the environment and what happens when secrets are forced to be buried. After all, some secrets are better kept unknown... "A gripping thriller with poignant references and thought provoking plot... Worth a read on a quiet afternoon..." Daniel, Indie Book reviewer
