Rat Island:
A Novel of Terrorism in New York City
Rat Island is a fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that plunges readers into the shadowy world of international terrorism. Written by Jay Kipling and Lidia LoPinto, this novel blends relentless action with intricate plotting and global intrigue.
When a covert terrorist cell sets its sights on New York City, the danger is unlike anything authorities have faced before. At the heart of the plan is a lethal Polonium isotope, hidden aboard a luxury yacht and destined for devastating use.
Jim Mulrey, a former Navy SEAL turned vessel examiner with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, stumbles into the plot during a routine inspection. His instincts—and sense of duty—pull him into a deadly race against time. Alongside him is Honey Wells, a courageous woman trapped inside the terrorists’ web, risking everything to expose the truth.
From the mountains of Afghanistan to European ports and finally the isolated expanse of Rat Island, the story weaves together danger, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. With a catastrophic attack planned for 9/11, Jim and his team must act before time runs out.
