Dawn, the Malacca Straits, a container ship is attacked by pirates. 

The captain and two members of the crew are killed and a container carrying a drugs shipment is emptied.  Exhilarated by their success, the pirates decide to attack a yacht on their return trip.  Their euphoria is short-lived and the soft target that they selected has a sting in its tail!  Two of the pirates are killed on the yacht and their high speed launch is destroyed along with their drugs haul.

Marcus and Sophie had intended their sabbatical to be a relaxation from normal activities.  However, following their encounter with the pirates and their subsequent detention by the Singaporean authorities, they are quickly projected into another fast moving adventure involving terrorists, the CIA, and vicious Thai gangsters
