This is a fast-moving geo-historical thriller, which uses both verifiable history and current events to show how Britain and the USA plan to give the Greek island of Rhodes to Turkey, in return for Turkish compliance in their plans to attack Syria and Iran. The action takes place after 2013.The book begins with a succinct, pithy and colourful history of the big powers' obsession with the Eastern Mediterranean. The action proper then begins, by jumping towards the end of the book, with a 'stream of consciousness' scene, where Russian agents have just killed two CIA operatives, thereby saving the life of one of the book's heroes, a British diplomat about to expose the plan to give Rhodes away.The US State Department Psychology and Strategy Board issues a special report recommending secret help to Turkey in return for compliance with the plan to attack Iran.A top-level meeting at the Pentagon then decides that a small and secret committee will be set up with the British and Turks, to advise on ways of keeping the Russians out, the Greeks subdued, the Turks satisfied, and how Turkish military action could help.
