While Max Burns is still in Swiss boarding school, his English parents
leave a high-society party in their helicopter after news arrives that
their partner in the high finance world has been arrested for fraudulent
dealings. The helicopter crashes. Later, in 2008, a plan for
THE EXPANSION. I
recommend the read to any thriller fan who wants the real background
behind the stories that make the headlines. This is an adult read with
strong language but less violence than a James Bond film.
In politics and big business, truth is a matter of opinion.
Straddling the storyworlds of Panama, Washington and London,
The Expansion follows British-born geomatic engineer Max
Burns, whose revolutionary water-saving system wins him the
esteemed position of head engineer for one of the 21st
century's most politically contested megaprojects: the
expansion of the Panama Canal.
For Max it is a dream come true: not only is he able to work
closely with construction giant and old high-school friend
Godfredo Roco in one of the most beautiful tropical
environments, but it's the kind of job Max has been working
toward his entire career.
Yet in the arena of global trade and diplomacy, stakes are
high, and when a senior official of the Panama Canal
Administration is found dead, Max finds himself in the frame
for sabotage and murder, and at the center of a web of
political intrigue and betrayal that reaches far beyond the
idyllic shores of Central America. The only person Max can
trust is his new-found love, Karis Deen, a scientist with
the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Except Karis
herself holds a secret that could not only destroy Max, but
could change the entire balance of world power.
