American billionaire Domingo Cortez, who owes his success to the vibrant Taiwanese economy, assembles a team of mercenaries from around the world to sabotage the Chinese war effort. Using the world’s most advanced military technology and sophisticated guerilla tactics, Cortez and his organization wage war behind Chinese lines. The success of Cortez’s initiative does not go unnoticed in Beijing. The Politburo creates an elite force to counter Cortez.
