Diamondhead is the latest thriller from author Patrick Robinson and the name of a lethal new anti-tank missile deemed so dangerous the U.N. has labeled its use “an international crime against humanity.” That won’t deter French industrialist and politician Henri Foche who may even step up production after he is elected president.
Navy SEAL Mack Bedford knows firsthand Diamondhead’s devastation, having seen it kill his fellow soldiers on the battlefield. His vengeance for their deaths leads to his court martial and dismissal from the Navy. Back home, Diamondhead’s production may force a shipyard that builds warships to shut down. The majority of the residents in Mack’s small Maine town owe their living to the shipyard. To stop Diamondhead and save the town, a plan is hatched to assassinate Foche before he can get into office. Mack has an even more personal reason to accept the assignment–he’ll use the money for an experimental operation for his sick son.
Mack’s traipsing across Europe to kill Foche has echoes of The Jackal in this larger-than-life action tale. Diamondhead is strongest when Patrick Robinson, author of eight thrillers and co-author of the nonfiction bestseller Lone Survivor, concentrates on the action-packed scenes. Diamondhead shows the brutality of war in battlefield scenes that won’t soon be forgotten.
