English Summary/英文概要： Six names and one GPS location.
A death list …
If there is a person, there is a problem.
If there is no person, there is no problem.
Time to make these problems disappear…
When investigative journalist Lachlan Fox blows open the story of the decade, simmering tensions between India and Pakistan hit boiling point.
A continent’s water – liquid gold – is at stake and one man thinks nothing of a potential all – out war when there is money to be made.
Before helpless millions die, Fox is determined to expose the corrupt Umbra Corporation, and the man behind it, to the world. With hefty prices on their heads, Fox and his trusted man-at-arms, Al Gammaldi, are pitted against time and a ruthless web of terrorist cells, rogue secret agents and dirty money. Flanked by news agency GSR and the FBI, Fox and Gammaldi are going to give as good as they get, but nothing can prepare them for the
ferocity of this fight.
Fox knows that the truth alone triumphs...and it’s going to hurt.

Awards/获奖情况：“James Phelan has produced a big, juicy, rollicking tale in the spirit of Robert Ludlum. We haven’t seen an international thriller like this for a long time. Let’s hope Lachlan Fox is planning on getting into more trouble in the near future!”Jeffery Deaver

About the Author/作者介绍： James Phelan出生於1979年澳大利亞墨爾本，他從小就有一種創新意識和想像力。喜歡閱讀Roald Dahl,Paul Jennings的作品。還喜歡閱讀《The Hobbit》、《金銀島》、《The Jungle Book》《Tales of the Punjab》、《Siddhartha》、《小王子》。少年時，他喜歡地域政治驚悚小說。受到各種名家的影響，包括Alistair MacLean, Clive Cussler, Jeffery Archer, Ken Follett, Tom Clancy, Jack Higgins, Robert Ludlum, John le Carre, Ian Fleming, and Jeffery Deaver。15歲時，他就開始寫第一本小說，有關2000年悉尼奧運會的恐怖襲擊事件。隨後，因Tom Clancy的《Rainbow Six》出版而放棄這個故事，但書中人物的形象卻記在他心中，成為後來作品的主角。
在撰寫” The Lachlan Fox thriller series”過程中，他採訪了澳大利亞防禦隊的退役軍人，以及經歷過這些政治事件的記者和NGO工作人員。
James在大學中學習建築學和英國文學，並拿到創意寫作博士學位。畢業後，在”Age Newspaper” 報社工作，期間他萌生了描寫第一本出版作品的靈感。目前，他出版了政治驚悚系列小說The Lachlan Fox thriller series和青少年災難小說The Alone trilogy.
James Phelan was born on the 21st of May, 1979, in Melbourne, Australia. His creative spirit was nurtured from a young age, and he credits his overactive imagination to being exposed to such works as The Hobbit, Treasure Island, The Jungle Book, and The Little Prince.
As a teenager James discovered a love of thrillers, of being entertained and informed on topical global events. James cites influences on the Fox series from reading such authors as Alistair MacLean, Clive Cussler, Jeffery Archer, Ken Follett, Tom Clancy, Jack Higgins, Robert Ludlum, John le Carre, and Jeffery Deaver.
In 1995, aged fifteen, James started his first novel for his VCE English assignment. A thriller involving a terrorist attack on the 2000 Sydney Olympics, James eventually abandoned the storyline when Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six was published in 1998. While this storyline died, the lead protagonists of Lachlan Fox and Alister Gammaldi did not, and James went in search of another introductory tale.
After high school James went on to study in Architecture, and then English Literature, eventually graduating with a Master of Arts in Writing. It was during his masters degree and while working at The Age newspaper James developed the idea that would become his first published book, and would lead to seeing his novels in print.
