Résumé :
Fractured States and Civil War are the new norm. The Secretary-General of the United Nations has given a Cambridge-educated senior Chinese official an almost impossible challenge: to assemble a team of experts, brilliant enough to detect, and intervene in, the most urgent problems facing the world. With the potential to unleash an unprecedented global crisis, a secretive plot is evolving to sabotage the world's oil supplies, set the superpowers against each other, and in the wake of this disaster, to restore the glories of a former medieval Caliphate. Li, the Chinese official, sets to the task of recruiting his international team of extraordinarily gifted individuals. The only question remaining is; if these individuals can come together as a team to use their combined intelligence, courage and talents before the unfolding catastrophe forces the world to the brink of a global economic meltdown and all-out war?
