About the Book

The youth of the less advantaged countries resented their situation. They saw other countries sharing in a lifestyle they could only dream of and didn't welcome what they considered interference from the more advantaged societies. At the same time, their leaders were embezzling state funds, resulting in wealth that even the people of developed countries envied. This, along with the luxuries the young felt - and rightly so - they were being denied, resulted in their resentment. Two research scientists, Rico Sanchez and Annette Hargraves, pursue their dreams - his, to discover whether his long-held belief his true; hers, to get him safely back. Both find themselves involved with a suspected terrorist group. She goes to Brazil with the government hot on her trail. He's somewhere out there, seemingly still in charge. In pursuit of her goal, she unexpectedly discovers and advantage that gives her the upper hand in her struggle, which she uses only to be disappointed. Rico returns... or does he?
