- Foreword"The
- sea
- is
- emotion
- incarnate.
- It
- loves,
- hates,
- and
- weeps.
- It
- defies
- all
- attempts
- to
- capture
- it
- with
- words
- and
- rejects
- all
- shackles.
- No
- matter
- what
- you
- say
- about
- it,
- there
- is
- always
- that
- which
- you
- can't"

- Christopher
- PaoliniSynopsisAfter
- the
- telecoms-,
- energy-
- and
- food
- investment
- sectors,
- the
- rapidly
- consuming
- global
- security
- world,
- is
- by
- far
- -
- for
- serious
- investors
- with
- a
- large
- risk
- appetite,
- coming
- in
- vogue.
- The
- anxious
- lapping
- up
- of
- plots
- of
- the
- globe
- that
- it
- aims
- to
- dominate,
- pages
- one
- back
- to
- the
- frantic
- gold
- rushes
- of
- yesteryear.
- Investor
- buzzwords
- such
- as
- "increasing
- demand
- for
- security",
- "upbeat
- growth
- prospects"
- and
- "resilient",
- are
- all
- often
- discovered,
- standing
- at
- attention
- and
- rising
- up
- from
- high-level
- investor
- prospectuses.
- Feeding
- off
- our
- addictive
- and
- paramount
- need
- for
- privacy
- and
- safety,
- this
- sector
- has
- taken
- on
- the
- characteristics
- of
- a
- growing-mutating-kicking
- and
- screaming
- octopus-like
- organism,
- with
- its
- tentacles
- strangling
- new
- players
- with
- impunity.PrologueAnne,
- again
- for
- a
- somewhat
- untimely
- change,
- found
- herself
- many
- time
- zones
- away
- from
- the
- peaceful
- tranquillity
- that
- had
- become
- home
- in
- recent
- years.
- She
- craved
- her
- desolate
- all-year
- warm,
- water-walled
- personal
- and
- obscured
- sandcastle,
- with
- its
- elliptic
- five-hectare
- stretch,
- caressed
- by
- eternal
- shallow
- foamy
- turquoise waves.
