Book excerpt: ""A supertanker goes missing in the Mozambique Channel. A month later, it is rediscovered far out at sea by the Bourbon-Busset family, descendants of thirty kings and at least one pope, who just happen to be yachting in the neighborhood. Over the objections of their own crew and the American government, the Bourbon-Bussets carry the tanker into Mauritius, claim a quarter of its value in admiralty court - and win the case. After the president of Togo disappears from his mistress's bed in the middle of the night and is mysteriously restored to her before morning, he subsequently makes major alterations to Togo's annual budget and foreign policy. Fortunately, he doesn't have to push them through alone. The other key men in his government also appear to have something to hide and thus something to gain by following his lead. Although they may be more forthcoming about exactly what they are hiding with the Chinese ambassador. In central Africa, British reporter Tony Henderson has stumbled onto something unusual: revolutionaries who not only don't want publicity for their cause, they actually go to great lengths to avoid it. He is gently but firmly shooed away from potential hot spots and told to go report on local agricultural complaints instead, much to his chagrin. The Ugandan government may be on the verge of collapse, with a massive popular movement to restore the traditional kingdoms underway, and no one will tell him about it. On the other side of the world, Dr. Robert Saul, a clever biochemist with a beautiful but vapid wife and a taste for ignoring patients and perjuring himself in his spare time, is being courted by a major pharmaceutical firm. His unpleasant personality is canceled out by one very important consideration: he has developed a revolutionary antiviral called VIPER, which not only cures the common cold, but also HIV and everything in between. The clinical trials look promising. In another twenty years, AIDS will have been consigned to the history books. However, the Bourbon-Bussets have other ideas. In their opinion, twenty years is too long to wait, and any price too high to pay for public access to the vaccine. Armed with a ready supply of cash and a creative approach to private property, and with their machinations stretching from Swaziland to Rome to Ciudad Juarez, they go after Dr. Saul themselves. They want him to release the patent for the antiviral into the public domain. And if he proves uncooperative, well, then, they will have to find a way to persuade him."" The price of failure is twenty million dead. Or more.
