From the back cover: "Russia faced a natural disaster. The U.S. an economic one. Caught up in the increasingly desperate needs of the super-powers, James Collington risked his company, his marriage, and finally is life on: THE SAGOMI GAMBIT".
From the inside cover: "As the huge military transport airplane from Moscow finished refueling at Amsterdam's airport and started its takeoff, the outer left engine overheated, shuddered violently and snapped away frim the wing. The transport hung in the air. Then it dipped and plowed into a field a mile from the airport.
The NATO intelligence teams who had been watching raced to the scene. The navigator was dead; the pilot was deeply unconscious. They photographed all the equipment, and turned to the cargo.
As the section head opened the first crates, he swore at the sight of the gold that lay there.
From the numbger of crates and the standardized ingot weights, they calculated the total value of the cargo: $300 million.
The assay marks on the ingots were those of South African Grain, Ore and Mineral Incorporated-SAGOMI.
What were the Russians-major gold producers themselves-doing with South African ingots?
The answer would shake the world."
