2050The global village has disintegrated.The Third World War, ending in a stalemate, has left the planet split between two hostile powers, each with a captive sphere of influence.The Atlantic Ocean has become an American sea.Responding to economic decline, the U.S. government has shed ballast, jettisoning areas and populations which make no contribution to the prosperity of its ruling class.Manifest Destiny is once again the flavor of the day.West Africa has become a desert of failed states and anarchy, dotted with mines and oil rigs, stockaded and armed by U. S. corporations.Dumps of toxic waste litter the coast.From their island outpost of St. Thomas, the Americans dispatch expeditions of geologists and mining engineers into the dangerous interior of the Dark Continent to search for untapped resources.One such expedition has gone missing.Captain Crash Ferguson of the U.S. Marine Corps, the son of African parents, is sent to find it; but unknown to his handlers, he has another mission.
