As the corrupt and strife-torn African nation of Asante teeters on the brink of savage revolt, the lives of two men - one white, one black - are caught up in an explosive maelstrom of money, politics, intrigue and violent action.

Peter Tangent - the super-sophisticated and unscrupulous executive of an American oil company. He arrives in Asante to bargain for oil leases. But he stays to wage war - and win.

Obiri Anokye - the ruthless soldier of Asante's restive army who brutally stamps out one rebellion and dreams of leading another. He promises peace to his people but his overwhelming objective is power, personal power - no matter the cost in blood and cruelty.
