Avid sailor, Clement Alexander, Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Engineering, is tapped by Senator Brinks from Massachusetts to join an unofficial intelligence-gathering committee tasked with discovering the intentions of the newly forming United African Alliance (UAA) concerning their nuclear ambitions.
Four members of this committee plan a trip to three countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, ostensibly to continue the work Dr. Alexander had earlier begun as a representative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) to help these countries develop safe, economical nuclear power.
During this trip, they find out that instead of moving to create weapons-grade material―normally a big concern associated with foreign nuclear power―certain members of the UAA leadership have other more threatening aims.
When it seems that Clement's group is getting close to the discovery of this threat they are charged with several phony crimes and forced to escape from the African continent by unusual means.
This story follows Clement and his associates as foreign agents lock onto him from the first days of his involvement with Senator Brinks' committee through their surprisingly adventurous trip covering all of northern and western Africa and finally catching up with him south of Bermuda where a highly unusual, climactic sea battle pits an array of eighteenth to twenty-first century United States Navy assets against an unconventionally armed adversary.
