Fresh Fiction Review

THE EXPANSION
Christoph Martin

Reviewed by Clare O'Beara
Posted April 19, 2018

Thriller Political

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.

SUMMARY

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.
