Synopsis

Mysterious Whale Deaths... A Quest for Meteorite Fragments... A future Global Cataclysm... Siberia 1908: A massive explosion occurs above the Tunguska region - known as The Tunguska Event - releasing the equivalent energy of 185 Hiroshima nuclear bombs. An asteroid impact, or comet fragment is thought to have been the cause. It happened then, and it will happen again... MYSTERIOUS WHALE DEATHS... Wales; UK - When a blue whale gets washed ashore and dies in front of Robert Spire on his local beach, the UK's Department of the Environment and local population are ill prepared. When a second whale washes up dead on Myrtle Beach on the opposite side of the Atlantic, the scientific community realizes it has a mystery on its hands and questions need answering. A QUEST FOR METEORITE FRAGMENTS... Environmental lawyer Robert Spire; newly recruited to the UK's Global Environmental Command Unit - GLENCOM, flies over to South Carolina to investigate. Whilst there, he teams up with marine biologist Dr Sally Rivea, also assigned to the case. Meanwhile in Nevada, USA, ex-marine Travis Dexter is on the run after he discovers the body of his employer - philanthropist Julian Smithies - murdered in his home. The only object missing; a recently discovered, rare and valuable space meteorite, its origin unknown. A FUTURE GLOBAL CATACLYSM... On the island of Exuma In the Bahamas, four sport divers make a startling discovery at the bottom of Mystery Cave blue hole. Sixty miles offshore in the Caribbean Sea, drilling on the Proteus oil rig turns to disaster as the drill-bit snaps as it strikes something hard on the ocean floor. Dr Rivea, at a loss to explain the high levels of the mineral olivine discovered in the whale's tissue samples, accompanies Spire to the Caribbean in search of answers, but when they get there, the mystery only deepens as they unearth a conspiracy with cataclysmic consequences... Robert Spire is propelled into a fast paced action-adventure thriller as he travels from Wales, London, over to Nevada, Arizona and the Bahamas in search of the mysterious deaths of two blue whales. All the clues point to an historical space asteroid impact, but nothing can prepare Spire, or the world, for the cataclysm that is about to unfold.

Impact Point is a fast paced action thriller covering the following themes; * Extinction * Space * Terrorism * Sea adventure * Asteroids/comets/meteorites * Conspiracy * Cataclysm * Disaster "Si Rosser's new novel IMPACT POINT is an outstandingly good and enjoyable read.
