Rhapsody of Power

Nuclear scientist Lauren Hind returns to Brussels to find her company, Cassini Power, riven by plots and turmoil and her Director role threatened. Confident in her adaptability and desperately needing a change of direction, she decides to face down her antagonistic Chairman, whilst seeking solace in a splurge of fashionable shopping indulgence in advance of her expected big payoff.

Appearances however can be deceptive and out of the blue an unexpected turn of events shakes up her perceptions and sets her off on a new path towards career possibilities and a world stage she could only previously have dreamed about. But threats and a puzzling technical dilemma shake her out of any cosy feelings of finally being in control of her life, because she has to decide where her loyalties lie and confront once again who she really is and her true feelings. Aspects of her recent past have not quite gone away as she had hoped and expected.

A looming catastrophe, with enormous consequences for Europe and the rest of the world, reveals the true extent of her capability to deal with serious dangers. To add to her confused feelings and foreboding, her Chairman is at the centre of the murky wheeling and dealing and she is summoned to engage in an adventure which could lead to her death and destruction. She badly needs help and there is only one person to turn to again – who could annihilate her in a moment.

Can she let this happen or are the consequences and payback already drawn in the sand...? And there is still her Chairman ...
