Opis

The year is 2020 and the balance of world power has changed. The East is rich and enjoying the wealth it earned producing goods for the West. Now it needs more food to sustain its exploding population. Meanwhile the West is struggling to find a way to feed its own people after decades of financial decline. Michael Marr, a young British research scientist employed by a US multinational, has made a breakthrough. He has discovered a new superfood which could prevent famine, but he faces a perilous journey back to safety from his research base on a remote island. The secret is out, and he will be chased every step of the way by powerful governments and competitors who want to steal his work. Find out what happens as Marr weaves his way from boardroom to bedroom while his pursuers use every trick in the book - money, sabotage, sex and murder - to steal his prize.
