In a world where covert mercenary intervention has replaced protracted discourse at the UN, Africa's nations are locked in a constant battle for survival and dominance, fighting over rapidly dwindling resources. The Republic of Chad and the newly formed Islamic Republic of North Africa are heading for war as cross-border attacks intensify, diplomacy is failing, and each president is facing his own domestic challenges. The simmering conflict arouses the suspicion of Jerry Vasquez, Head of Operations for Task Force Africa and former US Marine officer. His investigations into a mysterious plot plunge him into a frantic and deadly game of cat and mouse, which takes him across Africa, from the jungles in the west to the arid plains in the east. He must rely on his wits and employ the latest technological developments in his quest to foil the terrifying plot and avert a brutal and deadly conflict.
