Deadly Passage is a multi-layered, high seas, adventure-thriller
novel of bioterrorism in a post 9/11 world. The novel operates on
several levels not commonly encountered in a high-octane thriller,
including insights into the terrorists, their backgrounds,
rationale, and subtle conflicts within the communities from which
they have been drawn that ultimately condition their decisions and
actions. The responses of US governmental agencies mirror these
diverse perspectives. Andy Reiss, a physician, Jesse his
registered-nurse wife, and Rachel, their barely teenage daughter,
head home on their sailboat, Prophecy, after five years at sea
touring the world. They thought they'd dealt with every imaginable
experience at sea. When Prophecy comes upon a sailboat adrift, they
discover two young Americans, a brother and his sister. After
bringing them aboard, both break out with a rash that Andy
identifies as a deadly virus. Soon it becomes clear that they've
inadvertently rescued two homegrown terrorists intent on bringing a
deadly virus to the Miami area. Soon the disease is full-blown,
sealing the fates of the terrorists and all those they encounter.
Andy, Jesse, and Rachel must deal with the unwanted guests, their
disease, the Cuban Navy, an approaching hurricane, and the U.S.
Coast Guard turning them away from safety, operating under the
influence of conflicting political and operational motivations in
the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, and the oval
office. The shocking and unexpected denouements leave us twisting
in uncertain winds reminiscent of On the Beach.
