When Taggart found the gold fields of Mwandi, he tried to make a deal with C.J. Canfield III, and wound up dead in an hotel room.

Now two ruthless multinationals competed for control of the corrupt African state and its equally corrupt neighbour.

Beautiful arms dealer Alison Craig worked for Canfield at CCI. She was a woman with a past. There’d been too many men to count but cynical Vietnam veteran Steve Padget wasn’t that forgettable.

Now he worked for Canfield’s arch-rival Mike Vogeler at VIE.

As the former lovers engaged in a deadly round of arms deals and mercenary raids in the heart of Africa, there were disturbing developments on the home front.

Suddenly Vogeler was dead, C.J. Canfield III’s precarious sanity was crumbling, and both giant financial empires were careering out of control.
