About the Book

It was the deal of the decade, if not the century. A small, insignificant company on the edge of bankruptcy had discovered an alchemist's dream; a miraculous polymer, a coating that was like superman's cape: paint it on a vehicle, any vehicle, and voila, you have the equivalent of thirty inches of steel. With bloody wars surging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the polymer promised to save thousands of lives. By negating terrorist's bombs, it promised to change the course of both wars. Better yet, it promised to make its owner countless billions in profit. Enter Jack Wiley, a successful Wall Street banker who mysteriously learned of the polymer and had a plan. To make this dream come true, Jack Wiley went to the Capitol Group, one of the country's largest, richest, and (by any measure, given its illustrious board) most powerful corporations. Jack and the Capitol Group would partner for a quick, bloodless takeover of the small company that developed the polymer. It was a partnership made in heaven; Jack's smarts, Capitol Group's power, influence, and ruthlessness, a marriage that would make them both rich beyond imagination. Once they owned the patents they would steamroll Congress and the Pentagon to get the polymer into production, via a no-bid, fast-track contract. And it all went according to plan, until the Pentagon's investigative service began nosing around.Suddenly, the polymer deal turns into a nightmare, and threatens to engulf everyone involved in turmoil. The Capitol Group, used to controlling all the levers of power, will find itself in the center of the greatest scandal the government and corporate America have ever seen...
