Product Overview
Payne Harrisons STORMING INTREPID was a New York Times Bestseller and a Cold War classic that helped define the techno-thriller genre.Now with EUROSTORM he weaves his narrative magic yet again this time aboard the Eurostar bullet train as it races under the English Channel from London to Paris. Sealed within the vault of an impregnable security car is a substance so secret and so lethal that only a handful of mandarins within Her Majestys Government even know of its existence.Yet when the train exits the Chunnel and heads toward Paris, Scotland Yard learns too late that an evil force has literally risen from the grave to ensnare the train and hijack a cargo that could alter the world as we know it.As the cumbersome cross-Channel bureaucracies struggle to respond, the only hope that emerges to keep this horrific genie in the bottle is a small team of French commandos that takes to the air to board the Eurostar as it hurtles across the countryside at 186 m.p.h. -- with nothing less than the future of the planet in the balance.
