When a Boeing 707 is violently highjacked from Angola and flown to parts unknown, the security agencies of the United States race to find out what happened, only to descend into power struggles. Fed up, the President turns to an outsider--Major Carlos Guillermo Castillo. A pilot, West Point graduate, and veteran of Desert Storm, Castillo has a sharp eye for the facts. Undercover in Africa, he is helped and hindered by unexpected allies and ruthless enemies, and begins to untangle a plot of horrific dimensions--a plot that, unless Castillo acts quickly, will end very, very badly....
