Syren's Song is the second novel featuring Connor Stark, and it
promises to be just as engaging as The Aden Effect. This
geopolitical thriller begins when the Sri Lankan navy is
unexpectedly attacked by a resurgent and separatist Tamil Tiger
organization. The government issues a letter of marque to former
U.S. Navy officer Connor Stark, now the head of the private
security company Highland Maritime Defense. Stark and his eclectic
compatriots accept the challenge only to learn that the Sea Tigers
who crippled the Sri Lankan navy are no ordinary terrorists. The
Sea Tigers have created a new weapon that not even the West
possesses, fueling it with a previously undiscovered element. By
creating a localized electro-magnetic pulse (EMP), the group and
its ruthless leader, Vanni, can effectively neutralize any ship,
airplane, or missile. With this weapon they're poised to instigate
instability throughout the region. Half a world away a U.S.
diplomatic security agent is found murdered and the Iranian-born
Damien Golzari is tasked with the investigation. He finds more than
just murder, uncovering a conspiracy connected to the Sea Tigers
and their new weapon. Meanwhile in the forests of Sri Lanka a
veteran journalist gets close to uncovering the Sea Tigers mining
operation. She learns that they are using local children as
laborers, but before she can find out what they are mining, she is
discovered by the Sea Tigers. Connor Stark sets out aboard Syren, a
former Navy experimental vessel now the flagship of Highland
Maritime. Stark and his team race against the clock to prevent
another Sea Tiger attack, aided by the help of an old friend
leading a U.S. Navy force. Guided by fate or just dumb luck, they
unite with Golzari and the journalist. When the Sea Tigers surround
Syren, Connor, Golzari, and the journalist must come up with a plan
to escape. But the Tigers won't be beaten so easily, and after
cornering Stark and capturing him, he'll learn firsthand if the
relationships he's cultivated will prove strong enough to beat the
odds. With new allies and new enemies, Stark and company face
terrorism, war, conspiracy, and murder. Claude Berube has set Stark
up for another exciting adventure.
