About the book
About Bait A Barefoot Fisherman Thriller
Fisherman Achilles Smith lives off-grid on Great Barrier Island. A former elite soldier he has built a simple home by the sea and become part of a colourful community. Catching fish, growing food, and seeking nature's healing to help him mend the scars of war. When he witnesses an assault in Auckland harbour, he rescues American journalist Barbara Walsh from certain death. Taking her to his home, he thinks the remote island off the New Zealand coast will keep her safe. American billionaire sociopath Dominic King has a simple solution for man-made global warming; to destroy mankind. Desperate to silence Walsh, who he believes has uncovered his plans, King's assassins find Achilles' home and turn the peaceful island into a hunting ground. With time running out will Achilles be able to save himself and the woman who has stolen his heart? What can he do to stop Dominic King's apocalyptic plan before it is too late? Will becoming bait be enough to save the world?
