1 About this book

Individual greed takes the place of old world rivalries of great nations. Inside look at the international cartel of illegal arms dealers, and drug smugglers. Lays forth an understanding of paradoxes in our unquestioning perceptions between evil and virtue! Heavy reading at best; smashing thoughts!

Good for readers who want: spy fiction, a mystery, and a long read.
