A retired British spy, Gabriel Hobbs and an American CIA boss, John Penn ally delicately with Francis Whyte, a notorious assassin who grew up in Nigeria to avert the birth of World War III. But with motives ulteriorly withsitting, a fraternity of warmongers finds the right spot to hit. World War III is imminent; creatures of the night pull to walk the day; love ties face severance; a war that cannot be won has to be fought.

Set in the creeks of the Niger-Delta, Nigeria, the story focuses on DELANO MARTIN a special US forces Marine, employed for a straightforward job (or so he thought) but finding himself caught in the midst of a raging feud between the tripartite force of the Nigerian Government, the oil cartels and militants within the Niger Delta region.
