Twilight Visitor - E-book - ePub

Mateus Cordozo has just returned to his hometown of Afife, Portugal, a short vacation where he hopes to reconcile his midlife crisis - far from his "normal" life as a bio-engineer back in Sweden. With two bottles of wine, cheese and freshly baked-bread, he finds a secluded spot on a blustery beach, where he is certain that no one will interrupt his soul-searching. But that's where the vacation ends.
A stranger appears and soon informs him that a nuclear war is imminent as China has just invaded Iran for its oil, and that he and his particular research group back in Sweden have the means of stopping the debacle. An introvert and certainly not the hero-type, Cordozo adamantly rejects her claim as ridiculous and outlandish, but over the course of the next hours, all of that will change as the global theater enters into a race against time - the bomb or mankind - and Mateus has to make a decision."This is a fast paced read but the plot contains complex ideas which adds a depth to the book.
