This tale of determination to save a country from its corrupt government is a skilfully written page-turner. Freedom fighters plot to repatriate a sacred Inca idol imbued with unimaginable powers, but their hijack plan goes horribly wrong when the plane ditches off the Cape Verde Islands. The aircraft, an Airbus A380 superjumbo, thought to be the safest airplane in the skies, sinks beneath the waves as the impressive power of the US Second Fleet and spearhead of crack British SBS troops swing into action. Trapped on the bottom of the ocean are a dozen terrorists and over a hundred passengers and crew. A 'Harry Winchester' thriller, Deep Siege is set in the near future. Harry, a former MI6 field operative, first appeared in the author's debut novel, The Network.
