VARANASI ON THE GANGES IS A PROPITIOUS PLACE TO DIE. BUT NOT FOR NED BEAME OR SUJATHA MACKAY...
Microbiologist Su Mackay enlists motherless teenager Ned to steal secrets from a biofuels programme run by Ned's billionaire father's conglomerate. The secrets 'belong to the world, not just some corporation'. But matters escalate when a man gets shot dead and Ned ends up on the run in Varanasi with Su. Ned's SAS-trained bodyguard Simon Shearer tracks Ned first to Varanasi, then to a remote hideout in Nevada, US. The only way out is by air, with Ned flying. A huge, killer thunderhead blocks the flight route. Will teenage pilot Ned get through it? And, if he does, will he elude the murderer waiting for him at the other end?
