WHEN HIGH-RISK COURIER SIMON LEONIDOVICH IS DRAWN INTO A
GAME OF INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE IN THE NEW GAMING CAPITAL OF
THE WORLD, THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST HIM LIKE NEVER
BEFORE.
While overseeing the frenzied but suspiciously troubled
construction of his new Macau mega resort, The Pacific
Pearl, Big Jake Rynerson is secretly working with the
president of the United States to frame a new international
trade agreement -- the Pacific Rim Alliance -- between
China, Taiwan, and America.
To help forge this partnership, Simon Leonidovich, the man
who can deliver anything, anywhere, is called upon to
return a priceless artifact -- the Crest of Ch'in -- to the
People's Republic of China. But there are many shadow
forces who view a Sino-American alliance as a threat to
their interests. With the opening of the Pacific Pearl just
weeks away, a violent attack leaves Big Jake fighting for
his life . . . and the man who can save the Alliance
struggling to save himself.
