- In the dead of night, on the dark waters of the Baltic Sea, a cargo ship is hijacked.- In the Atlantic Ocean, a small flotilla of Russian warships is dispatched to re-take her.- In a quiet tavern in Savannah, Georgia, an off-work vending route driver watches a thirty-second news report of the incidents."What if...?" That was what Casey Shenk thought when he heard about the hijacking of the MV Baltic Venture. A simple diversionary blog posting that infers an illegal arms sale is involved comes too close to the truth for some, who would rather the speculation stop there.When anonymous threats turn deadly, Casey looks to the only other person who believes his theory; Susan Williams, an analyst for the private geopolitical consulting firm Intelligence Watch Group. With Susan's help, Casey digs deeper and discovers something much bigger that involves elements at the highest levels of governments on three continents. Casey and Susan soon find themselves in the crosshairs and at the center of a complicated plot to shape world politics that will affect the future of the Middle East and the world forever.
