Publisher's Synopsis
With the CIA and intelligence apparatus compromised at the highest levels, Jim Faithen, an ex-Navy SEAL, and John Delaney, a mining engineer, think they have established a safe new beginning in Rio de Janeiro seeking minerals and gold. That is about to change. Just as they are approached by four men in suits, sniper fire rings out from a nearby rooftop. It appears the two men have more enemies than they realized. In their escape from enemies, they uncover a carefully planned scheme by the Russian Mafia and the Iranian Muslim hierarchy who attempt nuclear annihilation of the Unites States. Entering conspiracies of treachery propel them through city scapes and Brazilian jungles along with delightful street urchins, a powerful jungle drug lord, and an enigmatic shaman leader, while spies and crooked government operators joust on the hidden battlefields of the world. Yet, the jungle can bend the laws of nature as they manifest.
