On a Private island off Sanibel a group of caviar entrepreneurs is gathered to unveil a new genetically engineered sturgeon. If it is possible to mature a female in half the time and if it is possible to remove the caviar without killing the sturgeon. it would revolutionize the caviar industry.
Well, Doc Ford is interested in these possibilities, but also interested in checking out the four international gangsters who will be attending. Kazlov, the Russia entrepreneur who claims to have genetically engineered this sturgeon, Armainie, Kozlov’s Iranian competitor, Lien Hai Bohiai, the leading Chinese exporter of farm raised caviar, and Darius Talas from Turkmenia.
With the help of Tomlinson (who is now a restaurateur), Doc garnishes an invitation to this lavish private affair. But, members of the Third Planet Peace Force decide to crash the event with murderous intent.
When the lights go out and Electronic jammers make communication with the outside world impossible, member of the Third Planet Peace Force take over the island. Bent on “punishing man for our sins against nature”, these crazy environmentalists go a bit over the top in their attempt to make a statement. Unsure who is responsible for what, it is up to Doc Ford to try to stave the blood flow and race against the clock to track down the “Bomb” that is suppose to go off at Midnight.
The entire book takes place in a span of less than 24 hours. but a fast paced 24 hours it is.
