Description
Larry Han, the leader of the Black Scorpions, a worldwide Chinese criminal gang, has embarked upon a fiendish plot that threatens to throw the world into a catastrophic crisis. Using a diabolical device he acquired, he is threatening to block ten major maritime choke points and extort millions of dollars from international maritime companies. Unfortunately, he does not comprehend the forces he has unleashed. His scheme rapidly escalates out of control. To prevent a major international confrontation the ISC, the watchdogs for a secret group of economic giants, is directed to investigate the plot, uncover the leaders, and eliminate the threat, without alarming the public. Events proceed from the development of an undetectable underwater mine, the murder of the developer and the interception of the ship carrying them. Events flow from the Panama Canal, to San Francisco, Vermont, Germany and finally to a fiery climax in the pacific off the Fijian Islands.
