And who is the enemy in their midst? As events begin to spiral out of Kemp’s control, even his army training seems feeble in the face of such a determined foe.Discovered after more than forty years, Domino Island is a vintage tour de force by one of the world’s most successful thriller writers.The suspenseful narrative of Domino Island by Desmond Bagley, a master of thrillers, is a testament to his unparalleled storytelling.
