4.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

RUN WITH MI6 OPERATIVE FRANK RYDER AS HE STRIVES TO FIND THE ABDUCTED SON OF THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER AND FOIL THE RUSSIANS FROM DEPLOYING A WEAPON THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO BECOME A DOMINATE WORLD POWER A strange signal is received by military listening stations in the Arctic. The source of the signal is determined to be from a Russian archipelago in the Barents Sea, but the signal cannot be fully deciphered and its location pinpointed.The British Prime Minister’s son, together with a celebrity naturalist and two camera crew, vanish whilst filming a nature documentary on the same archipelago. Could the Russians have abducted the four men? To find the source of the signal and what happened to the missing men, British Intelligence, send two MI6 operatives to the archipelago, accompanied by an elite international team of Special Forces. During the search, the special-forces team, led by Frank Ryder, ex SAS, stumble across a subterranean base, seemingly equivalent to America’s ‘Area 51’, where not only did they discover the missing men, but also a weapon the Russians are developing that will change the balance of world power. Ryder, his team, and the missing men, flee the base, but not before stealing evidence of the all-powerful Russian weapon soon to be unleashed. Guided by an Eskimo hunter, pursued by the Russians and encountering a series of hazardous escapades through rugged mountain terrain, Ryder makes a desperate bid to escape, despite an unexpected and shocking incident that seriously threatens the whole operation. Will Ryder escape the archipelago and return the Prime Minister’s son to safety? Will he be able to prevent the Russians from becoming a world power? ENCOUNTER is the fourth book in the Frank Ryder series.
