In a remote corner of  Zangaro, a small republic in Africa, lies Crystal  Mountain. At certain times of the day the mountain  emits a strange glow. Only Sir James Manson knows  why. The mountain contains ten billion dollar's  worth of the world's most valuable mineral,  platinum. ''Not only exciting but truly  surprising''--Atlantic. Now the only question is, how to get  hold of it. Sir James knows how. Invade the  country with a band of savage, cold-blooded  mercenaries. Topple the government and set up a puppet  dictatorship. Unleash the dogs of war.
