Mick Hannigan, their nephew and the director of security for a mining companyas well as a veteran and an occasional poor mans Bob Hopeagrees to travels to the tiny South American country of Talcayan to investigate the murders.

There, he meets the typical mixture of the good and bad in a seemingly lawless place, where the usual restraints on the worst human impulses have broken down. Mick contributes his considerable combat skills to the struggle of some law-abiding citizens who are fighting the attempt by criminals to take control of the country. But even in victory, there is a price to pay; their small victories merely uncover new layers of intrigue and cruelty. Mick discovers that there is also a battle going on within himself. He struggles to escape the one entanglement he didnt expect to encounter in this foreign land: someone who actually likes him. Thats a quality he has always admired in an attractive female.

Besides, where else is he likely to find a woman who will come to the rescue of her friends with a Leopard I tank and a ragtag army?
