Black Light Rising
by Rudder, Michael

Shortly after the parliament of Barbados enacts a bill to extend its country's
maritime boundaries to preserve dwindling fish stock, an island arises out of
the ocean, within the new boundaries. The emergence of this island precipitates
a diplomatic crisis involving the US, the UK, France, Barbados, Trinidad and
Tobago, and India. Amid the politicking and espionage, the island begins to
exhibit some strange properties: a powerful force of energy beyond anything the
world has ever witnessed - Black Light - that plays havoc with the instruments
of planes and boats that get too close. But the political wrangling soon takes a
back seat when two nuclear submarines, an American and a Russian, crash into one
another on the island. The politicians, military personnel and spymasters of the
countries at odds over the new island suddenly must work together to remove the
subs before the island's energy causes a nuclear disaster.
