About this book

Nicolas Creel heads Ares Corporation, the world's largest defense contractor, and hires Dick Pender to manipulate international conflicts for corporate gain. Creel may be pursuing an even larger agenda. Shaw, a man with no first name and an unusual background, works reluctantly for a secret multi-national intelligence agency, traveling globally to maintain peace and security. Journalist Katie James pursues a major career opportunity: interviewing the sole survivor of a massacre that has shocked the world. These three characters become entangled in a catastrophic international crisis with the potential to transform global affairs.
