Action thriller by the classic adventure writer set in Africa. It
is no ordinary juggernaut. Longer than a football pitch, weighing
550 tons, and moving at just five miles per hour, its job - and
that of troubleshooter Neil Mannix - is to move a giant transformer
across an oil-rich African state. But when Nyala erupts in civil
war, Mannix's juggernaut is at the centre of the conflict - a
target of ambush and threat, with no way to run and nowhere to
hide...
Action thriller by the classic adventure writer set in the Pacific.
When Mark Trevelyan dies on a journey to a remote Pacific atoll,
the verdict that it was natural causes doesn't convince his
brother, Mike. The series of violent attacks that follows only adds
to his suspicions. Just two clues - a notebook in code and a lump
of rock - are enough to trigger off a hazardous expedition, and a
violent confrontation far from civilization...

A powerful debut novel set in Australia, continuing the legacy of
‘Master of the Genre’ Desmond Bagley. The Sequel to Desmond
Bagley’s DOMINO ISLAND Insurance investigator Bill Kemp had never
wanted to trek deep into Australia’s remote interior. But when
his clients Sophie and Adam Church inherit an abandoned opal mine,
triggering some explosive long-lost secrets, they – and Kemp –
find themselves facing an unknown enemy even more deadly than the
vast, forbidding wilderness of the Outback… The Desmond Bagley
centenary novel honours the legacy of the bestselling thriller
writer with a new adventure featuring Bill Kemp, described by
Jeffrey Deaver as ‘part James Bond, part Philip Marlowe, and all
hero’. Writer Michael Davies, who completed the first Kemp novel
Domino Island for publication nearly 40 years after the author’s
death, now weaves an original tale of danger and death under the
blistering Australian sun.

is on...

Discovered after more than 40 years, a vintage action-adventure
novel set on Domino Island - a Caribbean paradise toppling under
murder, corruption and organised crime... 'Like a dream come true -
an undiscovered Desmond Bagley novel ... and it's a great one!' LEE
CHILD Bill Kemp, an ex-serviceman working in London as an insurance
investigator, is sent to the Caribbean to determine the legitimacy
of an expensive life insurance claim following the inexplicable
death of businessman David Salton. His rapidly inflated premiums
immediately before his death stand to make his young widow a very
rich lady! Once there, Kemp discovers that Salton's political
ambitions had made him a lot of enemies, and local tensions around
a forthcoming election are already spilling over into protest and
violence on the streets. Salton also had friends in unexpected
places, including the impossibly beautiful Leotta Tomsson, to whom
there is much more than meets the eye. Kemp realises that Salton's
death and the local unrest are a deliberate smokescreen for an
altogether more ambitious plot by an enemy in their midst, and as
the island comes under siege, even Kemp's army training seems
feeble in the face of such a determined foe. Unseen for more than
40 years and believed lost, Domino Island was accepted for
publication in 1972 but then replaced by a different novel to
coincide with the release of The Mackintosh Man, the Paul Newman
film based on Bagley's earlier novel The Freedom Trap. It is a
classic Bagley tour de force with an all-action finale.

has been double-crossed and that the opposition is gaining ground,
his simple mission seems impossible...
