Product Description
Sex, money, deception, intimidation, murder: these are the tools used by The Consortium to expand its worldwide industrial empire. Headed by Weng Kai, brilliant one-time street beggar who rose to become the powerful Tai Pan of Hong Kong’s Red Dragon House, The Consortium is targeting the rich United States timber industry. They gain a foothold in the Thorson Timber Company of Spruce Bay, Oregon, a family enterprise run by Thor Thorson and his three sons, Kurt, Nils, and David. When the destruction of public and private forests and fisheries reaches a crescendo, a small group of activists is determined to stop it. David Thorson, Thor’s youngest son, and Cara Rivers, daughter of a fishing fleet owner, are joined by a crusading reporter and a talented environmental attorney and go into action following an environmental disaster. A high-stakes battle ensues, with an ending that surprises even the President of the United States.
