Paradise Island is a thriller set in modern day sub-Saharan Africa. The key protagonists are Candice Cain, a US photo-journalist; Carlos da Gama, the editor of a highly influential Mozambiquan newspaper and Courtney Regal, the owner and operator of a multi-national conglomerate with a South African heritage. The story opens with a dramatic, violent scene from Carlos’ early childhood, forty years before, in Angola and rapidly advances to Paradise Island, a semi-fictitious locale on the east coast of Mozambique.
Candice takes on an assignment to complete a photo essay on the effects of landmines on Paradise Island, a former holiday resort mined during the civil war in Mozambique. Candice has a tortured past – the only child of a professional soldier her father has brought her up like the son he never had, schooling her in all aspects of self-protection and the martial arts. At the time of the story Candice is building a reputation as a press photographer who exposes the dark side. She is still developing and has yet to come to terms with herself, especially her violent side.
Candice soon realizes that there is something sinister developing on the island when she fights off a gang of thugs who have been sent to kill her. During a series of fast escalating events, she meets Carlos da Gama, an investigative journalist who has come to Paradise Island to expose the situation.
Carlos was a charismatic student activist who was involved in the anti-apartheid at Wits University in Johannesburg in the seventies. Carlos was eventually deported by the South African security police and gained an international reputation as an outstanding journalist. Carlos is a brilliant orator, incredibly charismatic and without fear.
Candice and Carlos fall in love. They realize that a massive oil field is being developed which will inevitably destroy the marine reserve of the Paradise Archipelago, but that this finding pales into insignificance as they fight for their lives as they try to stop a revolution, masterminded by Courtney Regal, which is engulfing South Africa and its neighbouring states. Regal needs to eliminate Carlos and Candice if he is to succeed in his objective of gaining total economic and political control of the gigantic oil fields he has discovered.
The novel revolves around the uncertain future that faces sub-Saharan Africa in the new millennium as a result of corruption and the unscrupulous activities of big business. The novel reflects the underlying reality of modern day Africa – the continent may be an exciting place to live, but the subtext of violence, uncertainty and political opportunism is always present.

Many spelling errors and poor grammar distract from what could have been a reasonably good story. It is really irritating to read a book that was so poorly edited. The plot seems to meander too much as well and leaves one wondering where the chapters have left off and if the story is progressing towards any conclusion. As for shooting a rocket from inside a flying helicopter shows that the author has absolutely no idea of what he is talking about and has no knowledge about modern weaponry. Pity I wasted my money on this book. My advice, get a better editor and write a believable story and do your research thoroughly before your next book.Product details

A little far fetched knowing the places in the book.
Very believable story line although savage and brutal at times and does reflect how some nationals handle independence with with outside interference
51 Years Ago. On my 76 birthday I was given a I Pad. Under KINDLE my first book to read Paradise Island in Africa. Oh! How wonderful to be taken back 51 Years. I spend my honeymoon on the island the most beautiful place. Clear water' you could see the fish swimming in the sea. A gripping book to read. In Africa man is the deadliest predator. Al most true story.
Enjoyed book. Well written. Fast moving.
Unrealistic story line and characters. The writing is not characteristic of this writer and must be questioned for authenticity. Far fetched and not worth reading.
this book is well written Potrays the violence that is Africa graphically and also the problems people have to contend with
It is a very good book and gives a good insight into the violent tribes of africa
This book is spoilt by dozens of spelling and grammar mistakes. This story is a "scary" scenario for what could happen in the Southern part of Africa should a deranged billionaire decide he wants his own little "kingdom" at any cost. Its not for the squeamish as Sherlock highlights the brutality people will go to for power and money. He also highlights the single biggest problem that Africa has for progress - corruption. I enjoyed the story and the accurate references to locations and situations in this part of Africa. As I said, the story is spoilt by countless spelling and grammar errors and I have to ask - Who Is Doing The Proof Reading?
