Un figlio di papà, intelligente e diabolico, organizza un piano per rapire una delegazione politica mediorientale col suo seguito di giornalisti e autorità accompagnatrici, fra cui il sindaco di San Francisco e varie personalità di spicco del governo di Washington. Il piano prevede di bloccare tutti sul Golden Gate, uno dei più grandi al mondo, impedendo con uomini armati e addestrati a chiunque di uscire o entrare. Lo scopo è quello di usare i media (soprattutto la televisione) per estorcere agli Stati Uniti una cifra da capogiro per poi fuggire a bordo di elicotteri militari, dopo aver ottenuto l'immunità firmata e sottoscritta dal Presidente in persona.

Una volta disarmata la scorta, questa viene fatta uscire dal ponte e vengono sequestrati tutti i possibili mezzi di comunicazione a disposizione dei prigionieri.

Inizia così una lotta psicologica e serrata fra due intelligenze brillanti e acute che sfocierà in un finale decisamente pirotecnico...

On the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook's navigation to Australia, this absorbing story chronicles one of Britain's great national heroes, from his humble beginnings to his violent death at fifty-one. Hacked to death by Hawaiian islanders on 14 February 1779, Cook was already regarded as the greatest explorer of his time. Driven by an insatiable passion for discovery, he became an unparalleled seaman, navigator, and cartographer. His relentless pursuit of exploration inspired unwavering loyalty from his crew, who viewed him as their guiding star. Between 1768 and 1779, Cook completed three circumnavigations of the globe, setting records in exploration and endurance. He charted New Zealand's coasts, landed in Botany Bay, mapped the Pacific islands, and ventured further south than anyone before. He also explored the Great Barrier Reef and journeyed thousands of miles north in search of the North-West Passage. Alistair MacLean offers a vivid account of Cook's remarkable voyages and the challenges faced by his crews in largely uncharted territories. Cook's life exemplifies his ambition to explore beyond known limits, making his story a thrilling testament to human endeavor and exploration.
