Robert Ludlum’s outrageous General MacKenzie Hawkins returns with a diabolical scheme to right a long-standing wrong and seek vengeance on those who ousted him from the military. Discovering a buried 1878 treaty with an obscure Indian tribe, the Hawk, also known as Chief Thunder Head, devises a brilliant plan that leads him and his reluctant legal partner, Sam Devereaux, to the Supreme Court. Their objective is to reclaim a significant piece of American real estate: Nebraska, the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Command. Will they prevail against formidable opposition? Will the Wopotami tribe finally have their day in court? From the Oval Office to the Pentagon, the president's men are mobilized, with CIA Director Vincent "Vinnie the Bam-Bam" Mangecavallo determined to thwart their efforts. Their adversaries include the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House, ensuring high stakes and intense conflict. One thing is certain: Ludlum delivers nonstop suspense and laughter until the very last page. "A very funny book... no character is minor: they're all hilarious." -- Houston Chronicle. In a previous adventure, Ludlum introduced Hawkins and Devereaux, whose plot to kidnap the Pope spiraled into sheer hilarity.
