Against the backdrop of an advanced next generation solar power plant, Thermals sets the scene for an exciting clash of police, military, and terrorist forces. When Inspector Anselm Gunnar of Interpol arrives at Tower City in Australia, his only concern is locating a wanted fugitive and helping the local police bring the man into custody. As evidence begins to build, however, Anselm discovers that the man he is hunting hasn't been hiding at all.
The story speeds along at it's own pace as the police, military, and terrorists all find themselves fighting each other in a mad attempt to regain some semblance of control.
