Warfare is simmering, and these merchants of terror and violence respect no boundaries, either of country or civilized behavior. They will stop at nothing to obtain the money they need to finance their plans. Can they be prevented from setting a vulnerable area of the world afire? Ziplich enlists the help of a covert British organization with resources far more diverse than those of his own department.
