A wobbly African democracy is ripe for toppling, and the USSR is backing the insurgents who are challenging the government troops.

Though Botswana's president is pro-West and a friend of the US firms who invest, official American policy is hands off.

Enter the involved industrialists. Their plan: use hired help to train troops, plan strategy, fight dirty and to the death of the other side. Their outfit: S-Com, the mercenary band that dares to deliver.
