Lieutenant Colonel Mike Stuart, a paper pushing Air Force plans officer in the Pentagon, is sailing the Caribbean when a monster hurricane drives his sailboat into safe harbour in Cuba. A harmless incident but when he returns to work, his life takes an exciting turn. In Dallas, Texas, LJ Ellis, the beautiful, charismatic president of a small oil company, discovers what may be the world’s last large oil reserve and determines to possess it. And Stuart would seem to be a faceless obstacle in her way, barely worthy of her attention as she twists the world of international oil and politics in pursuit of her goal, reaching into the White House and the highest levels of government.

Reviews
Richly rounded characters on a ride as swift and surely aimed as a guided missile
"Thinking man's" thrillers that out-Clancy Clancy...Herman has a distinctive beat to his wickedly adroit military thrillers
Could very well be tomorrow's headlines
A credible and exciting plot with attractive characters and breakneck action, Herman's latest is a sure winner
Truly edge of the seat exciting
This is the sharp end with vivid descriptions of air combat, the smell of hot oil and fear
Solid entertainment with nary a hitch
