Bøger om Corruption

The Slavonic Federation's secret service persuades a geneticist to access the brain of a visiting American financial wizard at the head of a trade delegation. The geneticist, who is seeking funds for research to improve human mental capacity, is unaware that he is involved in a bizarre plot to topple his country's government. The plot goes badly awry and leads to the collapse of the global economy and a descent into anarchy. Years later, when the world has reverted to a kind of neo-fascist politically correct normality, a Danish billionaire is persuaded to fund research by the same geneticist into the genomic source of intelligence with a view to creating a superior strain of homo sapiens. However, the billionaire is more interested in creating an intellectual elite with himself at its apex. Things don't turn out exactly as planned, and a contest ensues for control of his industrial empire against a background of government corruption and a media culture that has given 'spin' a new meaning.

We are in 1998, during the three weeks leading up to one of this year‘s worst terrorist acts, namely the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar, Tanzania.The Danish former ranger Stig Jansen, is located in the country in civilian affairs and soon he’s unwittingly whirled into what’s going to prove to be the precursor to one of the Worlds’ largest conspiracies involving the corrupt local government power, the CIA, sinister parts of the German government, Saddam Hussein‘s regime in Iraq and a Danish colonel in the Defense Intelligence Agency.He’s pulled around in the strange circus and his reactions and actions will be crucial for all the people he comes into contact with during his stay.Through his escape from the Kenyan military, who accuses him of terrorism and murder, he is driven, along with the beautiful Scottish Red Cross employee Jane, into the wilderness, where his abilities and skills as former elite soldier, come into their own, and the flight progresses then into a nightmare where the difference between friend and foe is subtle.
