What is the setting of Wild Justice by Wilbur Smith?

Wild Justice takes the reader from the islands off Tahiti to England, with stopovers in New York and Israel. Beginning with the terrorist takeover of British Airways flight 070, which is forced to land in South Africa after departing from Mahè, the terrorist response arm of Atlas called Thor responds from New York. This begins a trail that leads the main character, General Peter Stride, on a wild chase to identify and locate the person or persons responsible for a string of heinous crimes that range from kidnapping to killing.
