Retired Navy Seal, commander Reef Johansson and former Greek Secret Service agent Alexis Mikos of Oceans Reconnaissance Commission and Associates (O.R.C.A.) whose mission it is to provide coastal and port protection against terrorism, drug trafficking, and environmental issues, take on a terrorist-led ecological threat. The brilliant but evil North Korean Hon brothers and their wealthy Iranian partner, Jafar Assad, once again threaten civilization with biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Hardened mercenaries and the Russian Mafia aid in the terrorist cause, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance while
Reef and Alexis race to stem the tide of the Mediterranean Madness.
With another action packed opening, Mediterranean Madness begins with a bizarre sequence of events, seemingly nature gone wild, and the beautiful shore of Croatia becomes the scene of devastating horror. As more frightening and inexplicable incidents occur around the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean, the skilled and experienced men and women of ORCA rush to find the cause and the cure.
Picking up nearly right where Creating Madness left off, the second book by author Andy Rafkin, brings all the characters of his first book back, including those who pose a threat to the world’s population, and adds some new, enriching and expanding the story. As the members of ORCA battle evil on multiple fronts, the issues besieging the world become part of the characters, the very landscape.
The threat from North Korea and Russia are as intense as ever; added into the mix is a Nazi war criminal whose evil abilities have not dissipated with age. The relationship between lead characters Reef and Alexis evolve to the next step, precipitated by events that leave them both questioning the direction of their lives.
Mediterranean Madness is a multi-layered story with a plot like a five layered cake, rich and deep.
