The latest incarnation of the Gold Rush has started. Except instead of California, rare minerals have been found in the remote Sahara desert. And instead of individuals, it is attracting a rush of powerful nations. In the dead centre of the chaos are Troy Pearce's closest friend and a mysterious woman from his past. Deploying his team and the newest drones to rescue his friends and save the rebellion of certain nations, Troy discovers that he may need more than technology to survive the battle and root out the real puppet masters behind the Tuareg genocide.
