Viper's Game (8583)

Carrying a mental load in the aftermath of a recent contract security job gone sour and ending in the suicide of a young woman on Locken's watch, he takes an assignment from an old pal with connections in Australian intelligence -- a thinly disguised rest and relaxation tour to guage the shaky political scene on a lush South Pacific island. Only to arrive at the precise moment the anticipated sleepy tropical island erupts in violence at the hands of a home-grown terrorist group in alliance with a primative hill tribe. Their first intention: to exterminate the small community of foreigners scattered near the island's seedy main port. At the outset Locken is the only one with the understanding of what is about to happen with worse likely to follow. And the cool-enough head to try to derail their plans.
