Jake Rynerson, a man of many talents, is in the middle of
opening his new resort in Macau. But a series of accidents
have been occurring that threaten to hold up the grand
opening. He's also secretly working with the President of
the United States to form a new international trade
agreement among China, Taiwan and America. After agreeing
to meet someone late one night for a mysterious meeting,
Jake is shot. Does his shooting have anything to do with
the accidents or the "secret" assignment he's working on?
Billie Rynerson, Jake's wife, calls upon globetrotting
courier Simon Leonidovich to first deliver a priceless
artifact, and then to investigate the accidents. Simon
boards a plane with their daughter, Kyra Rynerson, and
their off to Taipa Island, Macau. During the investigation,
Simon finds himself framed for a crime, running from
mercenaries and trying to protect the artifact. Will Jake
recover? Will Simon discover who's behind the accidents?
CHOKE POINT is another impressive installment in the Simon
Leonidovich series. This novel is filled with adventure,
mystery and intrigue. I can't wait for the next one.
WHEN HIGH-RISK COURIER SIMON LEONIDOVICH IS DRAWN INTO A
GAME OF INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE IN THE NEW GAMING CAPITAL OF
THE WORLD, THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST HIM LIKE NEVER
BEFORE.
While overseeing the frenzied but suspiciously troubled
construction of his new Macau mega resort, The Pacific
Pearl, Big Jake Rynerson is secretly working with the
president of the United States to frame a new international
trade agreement -- the Pacific Rim Alliance -- between
China, Taiwan, and America.
To help forge this partnership, Simon Leonidovich, the man
who can deliver anything, anywhere, is called upon to
return a priceless artifact -- the Crest of Ch'in -- to the
People's Republic of China. But there are many shadow
forces who view a Sino-American alliance as a threat to
their interests. With the opening of the Pacific Pearl just
weeks away, a violent attack leaves Big Jake fighting for
his life . . . and the man who can save the Alliance
struggling to save himself.
