An adrenalin charged, high-concept thriller in the mould of Matthew Reilly and John Birmingham featuring ex-US special forces hero, Gerry Gallen, as he battles to avert a catastrophic thermonuclear strike.

His war is over and former special forces captain Gerry Gallen is enjoying the relative peace of running a cattle ranch in Wyoming. But when he's asked to lead a team to Jordan to retrieve his war-time sergeant, he agrees.

Landing in Amman, Gallen re-enters a world of Arab gangsters, American mercenaries and the constantly shifting loyalties of the CIA. And watching over his every step is the lethal presence of Hamas - a daily reminder that Gallen is working under the constant threat of death.

Nothing about the gig is what it seems and as Gallen realises that his former boss has stolen $3 million dollars from some powerful locals, the spectre of Iraqi aggression rears its head. But why are neo -Baathists chasing Gallen? And what do they want with the cargo he is carrying?

Hunted, beaten and trapped, Gerry Gallen is a man running two races . Can he break clear before lightning strikes?

Industry Reviews

"Shifting critical focus from Romantic authors to the postmodern in an always carefully crafted, lucid prose, Vine brings to bear on his subjects a critical voice at the top of its game. Demonstrating why theoretical discourse matters, how it is not the antagonist to a sensitive materialist criticism, and why close reading still remains the hallmark of intellectual endeavor in the humanities, "Reinventing the Sublime" is, itself, a powerfully performative work. Not simply a first rate critical study, Steven Vine's book is an event." --Julian Wolfreys, professor of modern literature and culture, Loughborough University
