Protagonist James Blackburn, a successful energy consultant
based in Washington, D.C. who advises oil traders, oil producing governments,
as well as the CIA and the U.S. Department of Defense, must uncover a brewing
conflict in the Middle East. Blackburn finds himself influencing U.S. policy at
a time of great turmoil and change in the world. Years later, Blackburn watches history repeat itself, and wonders whether the cataclysmic events that sprung up in the Middle East in recent years—the rise of the Islamic State, the crash in oil prices and the destruction of Iraq and Syria—could have been predicted, and even averted.
