War is raging in the Falklands, and Britain has sanctioned a few, clandestine operations, in an attempt to secure victory.

Suddenly, one of these 'black' operations goes awry and swift, corrective action must be taken.

Philip Wright, a U.N. agent, is dispatched to South America to locate a saboteur who, along with his family, has eluded authorities.

As Phillip's quest nears completion, a new, life-threatening challenge arises, forcing him into a desperate race, halfway around the world to Egypt, and the forbidden tombs of ancient Pharaohs.
