From the Bayous of Louisiana to the Pentagon, from the permanently obscured depths of the oceans of the Coast of West Africa to Colombia, this novel takes you on an adventure of survival of the highest stakes. Its participants are ruthless, humane, intelligent and competent and their fight for survival will take on epic proportions with the acquisition of nuclear weapons and the use of modern technology. Although a work of fiction, this novel brings to question fundamental assumptions as to the world of drugs and military security and the flaws of society at large that allowed the characters in this novel to thrive.
