RELEASE
Engineer Max Burns finds his life
hanging in the balance when the United States goes head-to-head with China over
the world’s largest trade route: the Panama Canal in this globe-trotting
political thriller.
In politics and big business,
truth is a matter of opinion.
About
British-born
geomatic engineer Max Burns’ revolutionary water-saving system has won him the
esteemed position of head engineer for one of the 21st century’s most
politically contested mega-projects: the expansion of the Panama Canal. For Max
it is a dream come true; not only is he able to work closely with construction
giant and old high-school friend Godfredo Roco in one of the most beautiful
tropical environments, but it’s the kind of job Max has been working toward his
entire career.
Yet
in the arena of global trade and diplomacy, stakes are high, and when a senior
official of the Panama Canal Administration is found dead, Max finds himself in
the frame for sabotage and murder, and at the center of a web of political
intrigue and betrayal that reaches far beyond the idyllic shores of Central
America. The only person Max can trust is his new-found love, Karis Deen, a
scientist with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Except Karis
herself holds a secret that could not only destroy Max, but could change the
entire balance of world power.
Crossing
the globe from Panama to Switzerland to Washington and London, The Expansion
by Christoph Martin is an exhilarating and high-stakes first entry in a planned
four-part thriller series. Delving into the more relevant-than-ever themes of
government surveillance and political dealing with a mix of intrigue and
fast-paced action, readers will find a new favorite of the genre.

Reviews
"The
Expansion opens with one of the most fast-paced, explosive prologues that I’ve
read in a long time. It sets the scene for a novel that is packed full of
international espionage, murder, intrigue and the beautiful setting of Panama."
