Intelligence agent Alan 'Mac' McQueen - the intrepid hero of Golden Serpent and Second Strike - is back. Double Back sees Mac fighting dangerous forces that will stop at nothing to sabotage East Timorese independence. Fighting the good fight, Mac discovers a plot to use a deadly ethno-bomb which kills only native East Timorese - who don't share the ethnicity of most Indonesians. Can Mac find and destroy the ethno-bomb before it's too late
