There is only one "SuperMax" prison in the United States; the Administrative Maximum Facility in Fremont County, Colorado. Housed there are the terrorists, mobsters, and criminal masterminds at most risk for escape. It was considered escape proof, until Luther Dupree escaped. How he got out consumed a year of investigations while every law enforcement agency in the world searched for him. Why he was broken out became evident by the end of the second year, but by then the nation, paralyzed by crisis, had to confront a changed world order and some disturbing truths about the American form of government. This fast paced international crime caper is stunning in scope as thievery and malfeasance in international banking, defense contracting and politics bring the world to the brink of war. Crisis erupts in North Korea, Africa, Pakistan, and China, and $Billions disappear in hastily created defense contracts. Air Force Maj. Boyd Chailland goes undercover and finds Dupree. Then Boyd's family disappears and it becomes personal; low tech versus high tech; man to man; hand to hand; accounts settled in a stunning climax at the top of the world.
