The Cold War rages on. Cuba has fallen to the Communists, and Nicaragua is threatening to follow suit as the left-leaning Sandinista movement grows in its opposition to the dictator Anastasio Somoza.

Twelve of the world's wealthiest men could care less about global politics and are planning to indulge in "The Ultimate Gentleman's Sporting Event" - a 6000-mile no-rules air race, flying expensively customized full-sized airliners. The winner's purse: twelve million dollars.

Someone who is paying attention to world events is plotting to use the highly publicized race as cover for a nuclear arms deal that could upset the global balance of power, and when corporate pilots Rope San Lucas and Billy Marks get a little too curious about what's going on, they find themselves fighting for their lives in the middle of a bitter rivalry between billionaires, unexplained apathy by the FBI and CIA, and a Central American revolution that could explode in ways no one thought possible.
