      Po ataku Saddáma Husajna na Kuvajt v létě roku 1990 začaly v Saúdské Arábii přípravy na největší vojenskou akci od druhé světové války. Obrovské množství vojenské techniky shromážděné západními mocnostmi naznačovalo jasný výsledek blížícího se konfliktu. Západní tajné služby však byly znepokojeny, neboť existovala možnost, že Irák vyvinul neznámou zbraň hromadného ničení. Američtí a britští agenti začali zoufale hledat informátora, který by odhalil Husajnovy úmysly. Když se dozvěděli o muži ze Saddámova okolí, který již dříve zradil svůj režim, vsadili všechno na tuto kartu - na tajemného Jericha. Forsyth ve svém napínavém románu živě líčí svět vysoké politiky, mezinárodní špionáže a vojenského velení, přičemž se soustředí na osudy několika rozdílných hrdinů, které spojí kuvajtská krize. Příběh vyvolává otázku: Může jediný člověk změnit chod dějin?

In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must finally decide where his loyalties lie -- and soon. For despite all the power at his command, it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan's final battle.
