Overview
The men who massacred the crew of the DavCo Arctic Drill wore Danish uniforms. They weren't Danish.
Canadian scientist Richard Cathey has just found the largest oil reserve ever discovered, buried beneath the Arctic seabed. Minutes later, a helicopter with Danish markings lands on his ship, and everyone aboard begins to die.
Within weeks, a Russian outpost, a Norwegian oil platform, and an Alaskan oil field are hit by soldiers in other countries' uniforms. Four nations, four attacks, and each government is handed someone else to blame.
Behind it is an exiled Saudi prince with a stolen research submarine, a laser drill, and an American engineer who has taken his money. The prince doesn't need to win a war. He just needs the world looking the wrong way until his well is capped and the field is his.
CIA operative Blake MacKay follows a trail of murdered witnesses and a mercenary with half an ear missing. Canadian intelligence agent Evelyn Cathey has spent six weeks fearing her brother is dead. When Richard finally shows them what his radar found beneath the oil, the race stops being about who owns the reserve.
A lake of magma sits under the Arctic, held back by a thin shelf of rock and the weight of the crude itself. Drain the oil, and the ice, the ocean, and the coastlines go with it.
Now Blake has to find one small submarine, five thousand feet down, before it finishes the job.
Beyond All Measure is Book Four in the Blake MacKay series and works as a standalone. From Bergen to the Faroe Islands to the top of the world, it's a geopolitical techno-thriller of false-flag attacks, resource warfare, and a drill with no safe depth.
For readers who like the geopolitical intrigue of Tom Clancy, the science-driven stakes of Michael Crichton, and the covert-action intensity of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.
