Stewart thought it was going well - surprisingly well! Two weeks ago, back in London, he'd been really worried that the expedition was heading for trouble but, now that they had settled into their remote location on the shores of Lake Albert, Uganda, his earlier concerns were disappearing rapidly.
The British and Irish scientists had worked hard to get their complex sampling regimes up and running and, in spite of some early personality clashes, were interacting well and getting on so much better than expected. Their magnificent surroundings were a factor of course - the tropical idyll of the village and its welcoming inhabitants and the stunning magnitude of Lake Albert - one of Africa's great lakes. He was getting very interested in Irish scientist Sheila Wilson and it seemed the interest was mutual.
Arrogant Englishman Hugo Bamford had bluffed and bullied his way to creating the joint expedition and a couple of weeks later, he flew in by helicopter to see how the work was going. Next morning finds him sweating in the local fields, working with the plant scientists on the outskirts of the village. The other group is far out on the huge lake working aboard local fishing boats.
Gunfire and the savagery of a terrorist incursion erupts without warning, causing brutal death and destruction.The terrified survivors, poorly equipped in a hostile environment, must bond together to avoid capture, torture and death. Do any of these academics have the physical and mental strength to find a way out of the nightmare?
