More Than a Game - Part Two Beyond The Ashes Synopsis The Ashes series decided and with the 'Kim and Drew' affair finally accepted by the majority of the cricketing world, the Australian and England teams begin to prepare for a 20/20 cricket challenge to be held across three Asian countries. In his London gaol cell, Erik Kahn, the man arrested for the bomb that took the life of an Australian cricket player, receives word from a former Belgian lover, Delores Venders, and an escape is engineered. Kim Fairbanks is kidnapped from her hotel in Bangladesh on the eve of a 20/20 tournament and is ransomed by the kidnappers to secure Kahn's release. MI6 commander Trace Everingham is the man who organizes the release in the hope that Kahn can easily be taken again once Kim is found. Kahn and his cronies seem to be always one step ahead, even though Kim is eventually found. An enigmatic elderly Indian man, appears in Andrew and Kim's life and seems to follow their progress over the next few months. Andrew becomes mysteriously ill during Australia's next test series at home against South Africa. Once free, Kahn learns that his old Mentor, Maraesh Vijay is directly involved in his life again and the pair set about two desperate objectives. The first, to disrupt the careers of Andrew Harcourt and Kim Fairbanks, the second to wreak havoc on the country of Vijay's birth. The chase for the fugitives leads Everingham, Former French Secret Serviceman Yves Baschante, Kim's father - a former S.A.S. major, and others across several countries, but Kahn and Vijay seem to elude them at every turn. The fugitives are able to acquire, through Vijay's vast empire, a quantity of a lethal virus and finally end up in the country he wants to destroy before the final twist brings the story to its climax .
