Black Light Rising

Shortly after the parliament of Barbados enacts a bill to extend its country's maritime boundaries to preserve dwindling fish stock, an island arises out of the ocean, within the new boundaries. The emergence of this island precipitates a diplomatic crisis involving the US, the UK, France, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and India. Amid the politicking and espionage, the island begins to exhibit some strange properties: a powerful force of energy beyond anything the world has ever witnessed - Black Light - that plays havoc with the instruments of planes and boats that get too close. But the political wrangling soon takes a back seat when two nuclear submarines, an American and a Russian, crash into one another on the island. The politicians, military personnel and spymasters of the countries at odds over the new island suddenly must work together to remove the subs before the island's energy causes a nuclear disaster.
