One man's relentless battle to save the planet takes a deadly new turn.
Billionaire philanthropist Charles Langham channels his vast wealth and cutting-edge technology into a high-stakes mission: regenerating rainforests, halting species extinction, and combating famine through sustainable, science-driven solutions. But when global leaders fail to act, Langham's bold interventions draw powerful enemies—and this time, the threats turn lethal.
It begins with a seemingly ordinary man following precise instructions: collect a newly imported car, drive to a specific London street, and trigger its alarm at the exact moment. He complies. Moments later, his actions unleash chaos that forces the British Prime Minister to activate COBRA and declare martial law.
Across the Atlantic, U.S. President Johnson deploys two aircraft carriers and a specialized Presidential force led by Thomas to contain the crisis. As Langham's team celebrates their first successful Sumatran tiger release, paramilitaries strike with ruthless precision, leaving devastating consequences.
Meanwhile, the enigmatic Axmann slips away on a freighter, carrying a sinister cargo toward the St. Lawrence Seaway—setting the stage for a high-seas confrontation that could decide the fate of Langham's vision... and the planet itself.
Blending heart-pounding action, geopolitical intrigue, and urgent environmental themes, The Atlantic Affair escalates the Charles Langham saga into a gripping thriller where one man's idealism collides with global power plays. Perfect for fans of eco-adventure and high-stakes suspense.

"After reading the first chapter, I was truly hooked – what an opener. You have achieved what I suspect every author yearns for – grab the reader in the first paragraph. I sort of expected a little explosion and felt proud of myself that I could second guess what’s likely to develop but WOW, I didn’t expect such an opener." Amazon review. David. Dec 2017.
"Read the first one (Pacific Affair) a while back, and now this second one (Atlantic Affair) in the series. It good action thriller, this one flows from the first book but can be read as a standalone. Great characters are well-sketched and fast-paced in places that carry's you along with the plot. The intro set in London is very detailed and gets you hooked quickly. I enjoyed it. A good read." Goodreads review by KJ. Dec 2017
