A plane carrying an American arms inspection team mysteriously crashes in Russia. Not long afterward, a senior American diplomat is daringly assassinated. A bold gambit to destroy America as a world power is well under way.Its architect is Prince Ibrahim al Saud, a member of the Middle East's most influential royal family and the brilliant head of a multi-billion-dollar global conglomerate.
