In the years following the end of the Shah's dynasty, a major petrochemical refinery is being constructed in northern Iran by the Islamic Regime. While this is good for Iran, it's not so good for the West. Enter the Organization for Reorganizing Business (ORB), led by Murray Stockman. ORB sends their senior field operative, Matthew Black, into Iran to "fix" the refinery problem. But this won't be an easy task. Black needs to refocus the Regime on being pro-West, a tall order that's going to require all his skills and the support of many. During significant political unrest and social upheaval, Black and the other ORB operatives on the ground, use every element at their disposal to upset the Regime's plans. Amid the rise of the Iranian working men's union movement and the birth of the Friends of Iran youth organization, ORB works to sabotage the refinery, cut the Regime's access to funds, and bring about the failure of the Revolutionary Guard. Can Stockman and his people cut Iran's ties to Russia and China and wrest control of the Iranian oil industry from the Regime before it's too late?
Autorenporträt
A. Jay Collins has spent over twenty years preparing for this novel. It became a labour of love, a commitment and a project wrapped up in one. Continually chiselling the characters, simplifying the plot, and more accurately describing the scenes only he would have seen during his own experiences, but tempering them with a lazy expression, he has presented a story that he could never truly finish in one novel. Armed with a lifetime of travel and experiences in many places most may never visit, he weaves a web of interest and intrigue as the tale is told. This is a culmination of fragments of his experience woven together to provide authenticity to the narrative. The story is a fictional one mixed with many facts. A. Jay Collins lives in the Vancouver, BC, area and continues to work on other manuscripts, assembling them in part from memories turned to fictional accounts with loose bindings until the time comes for it all to come together.
