Transformation Formula

Engineer Alex Marzoni has already lived through a CIA probe into a terrorist bombing scheme and a crash landing in a Florida swamp. Now he is trying to settle back into life on his island home near Panama, along with his wife Marisa and Ralph Sorenson, his karate instructor and close friend. Their calm does not last. A villain returns with the backing of an international dealer in drugs and weapons, sets up shop on a Caribbean island, and begins scheming against Alex, the people he loves, and the wider world.

The story moves from the Caribbean to the streets of New York as the heroes hunt their enemy, driven by a need to repay the suffering he caused them. The book is packed with action and includes scenes of torture. Its central questions are whether the team can track the villains, stay alive, and stop a series of worldwide terrorist attacks planned by an unstable adversary.

Alongside the external danger, the novel follows Alex as he confronts his own inner demons and fears, asking whether he can overcome them.
