Mateus Cordozo is vacationing in his hometown of Afife, Portugal. He finds a quiet stretch of beach, and with a bottle of wine, some local cheese and fresh bread, and two packs of cigarettes, he wraps himself in his coat and braves the brisk wind, as he tries to makes sense of his life, now consumed by a mid-life crisis which is smothering him. His seclusion is interrupted when a rather striking woman appears and asks to sit with him. Taken by her beauty and charm, they engage in a dialogue which soon becomes the most bizarre of his life. She informs him that in a matter of hours, his world will be on the threshold of a nuclear apocalypse, and that he can play a role in preventing it. Meanwhile, across the globe, Chinese forces invade Iran to take control of their oil fields. The military escalation rapidly strikes a threshold when Iran fires a nuclear warhead at Beijing, and as the world watches on in horror, the nuclear battlelines are activated. Mateus is told by his strange guest, that he holds the key to stopping the innevitable debacle that will ensue, but he must act now, or the fate of the world is certain. Already a troubled man, Mateus finds himself caught in the maelstrom, as the reality of the global situation looms, and as his own demons fight back for relevancy. Is it possible that the fate of the world could rest upon the actions of one man and one woman, in as much as its fate could rest at the hand of the man who presses the button? Twilight Visitor is a geopolitical thriller.
"The story races along with pace of a Tom Clancy thriller but the depth of the plot is rich in complexities philosophical ideas. Highly recommended for readers who like fast paced thrillers but with an ingenious twist." - Book-Reviewer.com
"I definitely recommend Twilight Visitor by Réal Laplaine as a five star read to all audiences fond of international political thrillers. It has an awesome, suspenseful plot that can be described as an out of this world political intrigue!" - BlogCritics.org
“… a high concept thriller that is comparable with the best of Dan Brown or Jack Higgins.” - Novelist - David Luddington
