Publisher's Synopsis
A private island in the Caribbean, the perfect place for a honeymoon. The orange and yellow hues of the setting sun reflected off the top of the waves as the newlyweds lay in the surf lost in the moment and each other. Hundreds of miles away, a fax machine dings and a piece of paper lies in the paper tray. The message shows a picture of Rex Boganville's daughter and his new son-in-law standing side-by-side with a pistol pointed at Stoney's head. The sender offers to trade their two lives for his newest and most prized acquisition. So begins Victor Stone's latest adventure that will span Africa, Europe and the Pacific Ocean. The mission is to find and retrieve his father-in-law's property. Using a device designed by Rex's top engineer that can overcome the jet amphibian's advanced technology, Stoney leads the world-wide search for the "shadow." Meanwhile, forces within the KGB and the Soviet military are plotting to make the Soviet Union the sole remaining super power thereby sealing the fate of millions of people world-wide. Follow along with Stoney and his friends as they chase the elusive shadow and try to stop World War III.
