Glamorous reporter Tracy Ballard finds love and danger when she joins President-elect "Buck" Lattimore's secret plan for achieving Middle Eastern d?tente and the greening of America. Tracy and an unlikely but potent set of allies enter a deadly race with Chinese, Russian, and paramilitary forces of Lattimore's political enemies, converging on Washington State's storm-tossed entrance to Puget Sound.
Somewhere offshore the escape capsule and crew of an aborted Chinese space mission have splashed down. National and multi-national interests are willing risk death and DefCon 1 to acquire the mission's flight recorder. Who will win the race, and can the losers afford to let the winner keep the prize?
