Hassan,12, an Arab goatherd, sees his village wiped out by a mis-directed Israeli air attack. He vows to destroy Israel. 40 years later he is a multi-millionaire businessman, the darling of high society. But he has never forgotten his vow. How he gets his fortune is a fascinating part of the story. Learning of a prototype miniature US Navy submarine , so secret that even the US President knows nothing about it, he has it hijacked, dismantled and shipped overland to his vast new private game reserve and casino in the remote Zimbabwe bush. He hides the submarine in a huge dam next to his casino, planning to launch its single long-range nuclear missile at Israel. The casino is an international playground for the rich, famous and powerful, and none of them know what terrible secret lurks beneath the dam. The CIA finds out, and plans a high-tech raid to destroy the missile. They reject offers of help from an ageing ex- mercenary bush fighter and his ex-enemy, a former Freedom fighter. Disaster looms-----
