Nathan Sanders has always been the solution to the problems that the United States government finds itself unable to resolve, legally. His methods seldom raised questions lest the questioner became the problem. Now he is tasked with discovering the plot behind a series of seemingly unrelated events; a submarine missing here, a satellite missing there, and the appearance of some otherworldly characters. Sanders has always solved the problem but has his ego and his latest protégé, a young woman from Honolulu, finally gotten the best of him? Not if he can help it.
