On the heels of a violent act of terrorism right in the heart of America, President Maggie Trousdale is faced with the prospect of securing an increasingly volatile Free World. When an unknown informant provides evidence that the attack was an act of international aggression, Trousdale has no choice but to chase the enemy into the heart of economically devasted Venezuela. She'll send the Prosecution Force-Reed Montgomery and his team of off-the-books operators who are motivated by their own thirst for revenge. Deep in hostile territory with global security on the line, what Reed finds in South America is worse than anyone imagained. A superpower is making a play. Venezuela's wealth is up for grabs. If it falls into the wrong hands, it just might fund the next world war. --back of book.
