When Harry Jones discovers that former friend Zac Kravitz’s life is in danger, a debt of honor sends him on a perilous rescue mission to Ta’argistan, a mountainous and landlocked former Soviet republic bordering Russia, China, and Afghanistan. Muscling his way onto a delegation of MPs who happen to be paying the state a visit, Harry finds an unlikely ally in the stubbornly independent Martha.
