While conducting top-secret negotiations aboard a tanker in
the South China Sea, the U.S. Secretary of State and the
foreign ministers of China and India are kidnapped, and the
tanker they are on is hijacked. The "Sons of Prophecy" take
responsibility and issue an ultimatum: If their demands
are not met in seven days, the three will be beheaded live
on the Internet.
With the presidential election in only eight days, sitting
President Sands, about to leave office, calls in former CIA
operative and master thief Robin Monarch and convinces him
to save the diplomats before the threatened execution.
In Outlaw, Monarch and his counterpart, a mysterious
Chinese agent named Song Le, embark upon a dangerous journey
into the underbelly of Southeast Asia, a world of corrupt
Vietnamese Army officers, fanatical pirates, Hong Kong triad
leaders, and volatile mercenaries living around the red
light districts of Thailand. As they get closer and
closer, with time quickly running out, Monarch learns that
the daring kidnapping and ransom pot diabolical plot is only
a front. Behind it is another plot, one designed to
alter the outcome of the election itself, a conspiracy that
reaches deep inside the White House, back to the very people
who hired Monarch in the first place.
