Covert-One operative Jon Smith is brought in to find solid proof of what the Chinese ship is ferrying. Then an agent is murdered and vital evidence destroyed. Smith must find the truth about the ship, a truth that probes the deepest secrets of the Chinese ruling party...

Condition: Very Good. : En las oscuras dársenas de Shanghái, un fotógrafo está registrando un 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 crear armas biológicas de destrucción masiva. El presidente no puede permitir que el barco llegue a su destino, una nación rebelde de Oriente Medio. Pero tampoco quiere que la marina ataque y lo aborde, porque décadas de negociaciones con China por fin han dado lugar a un acuerdo histórico sobre derechos humanos que China está dispuesta a firmar. El agente de Covert-One, Jon Smith, es contratado para encontrar pruebas sólidas de lo que transporta el barco chino. Entonces, un agente es asesinado y se destruyen pruebas vitales. Smith debe encontrar la verdad sobre el barco, una verdad que sondea los secretos más profundos del partido gobernante chino.
