About the Book

Off the coast of Somalia, 2011. The Indian Ocean is ravaged by scrupulous Somali pirates - expanding their operations from the Gulf of Aden to the Seychelles, from Mogadishu to Zanzibar they have made the seas off the Horn of Africa the most dangerous in the world. Somali pirate chief, Amiri, is a shrewd and powerful man who, from his land base in Southern Somalia, will stop at nothing to carry on his vicious attacks. In the dead of the night, Amiri's skilful men launch a deadly raid on a Danish chemical tanker, the Ocean Princess, en route from Mumbai to Mombasa. A nightmare begins for a Danish captain and his crew as the tanker is captured and sailed to the Somali town of Kismaayo, in war-ravaged Somalia. As the pirates set a ten-day deadline for the ransom payment of 20 million dollars for the release of ship and crew, the Danish owners must react swiftly. A Kidnap & Ransom consultant is hired but negotiations with the pirates soon turn sour and threaten to jeopardise the safe release of ship and hostages; all the while the London-based, vulturous ransom industry spares no means to stall the consultant's efforts. The Danish owners realise that a solution must be found locally in Somalia. In an ultimate attempt to unblock the dead-locked negotiations, they turn to compatriot Dan Borre. Dan owns a beach resort in Kenya near the Somali border and has vast experience in Africa and superior knowledge of the local culture and language. Backed by the American embassy in Nairobi, he sets out on a dangerous mission to find and free the Danish captain, who has been taken ashore by the pirates. The mission takes him and his small group of heavily armed commandos across the border into a Somalia that is ruled by warlords fighting each other for control. Dan and his people are racing against the clock to meet the pirates' dead-line... - A Dan Borre thriller from the war-ravaged African continent -
