Synopsis
On the dark waterside docks of Shanghai, a photographer records cargo being secretly loaded. He's brutally killed and his camera destroyed. Two weeks later on the dangerous high seas, the U.S. Navy covertly tracks a Chinese ship rumored to carry tons of chemicals for Saddam Hussein to create new biological weapons. The President cannot let the ship reach Iraq. At the same time, he doesn't want the navy to attack and board it either, because decades of negotiations with China have at long last yielded a landmark human rights agreement that China is willing to sign. The President orders Fred Klein, head of Covert One, to find solid proof of what the Chinese ship is ferrying. Operative Col. Jon Smith is sent to rendezvous in Taiwan with another agent who has acquired the ship's true manifest. But the second agent is murdered, the proof is destroyed, and Smith is left only with a verbal message - the President's biological father is still alive, held a prisoner by the Chinese for fifty years. Smith must find the truth about the ship, a truth that probes the deepest secrets of the Chinese ruling party...

Condition: Bueno. : En las oscuras dársenas de Shanghai, un fotógrafo registra el cargamento que se está cargando en secreto. Es brutalmente asesinado y su cámara destruida. Dos semanas después, en alta mar, la Marina de los EE. UU. rastrea encubiertamente un barco chino del que se rumorea que transporta toneladas de productos químicos para que Saddam Hussein cree nuevas armas biológicas. El Presidente no puede permitir que el barco llegue a Irak. Al mismo tiempo, tampoco quiere que la marina lo ataque y lo aborde, porque décadas de negociaciones con China han dado por fin un acuerdo histórico sobre derechos humanos que China está dispuesta a firmar. El Presidente ordena a Fred Klein, jefe de Covert One, que encuentre pruebas sólidas de lo que transporta el barco chino. El agente Col. Jon Smith es enviado a reunirse en Taiwán con otro agente que ha adquirido el verdadero manifiesto del barco. Pero el segundo agente es asesinado, la prueba es destruida y a Smith sólo le queda un mensaje verbal: el padre biológico del Presidente sigue vivo, prisionero de los chinos desde hace cincuenta años. Smith debe encontrar la verdad sobre el barco, una verdad que sondea los secretos más profundos del partido gobernante chino.
