OverviewWho thinks running guns to Africa should be a nice little earner? Who's accidentally acquired a soccer-mad private army of child soldiers? What happened at the Glue Factory? Who forgot to switch off the fountains? Oh, and by the way... Why is Africa's richest country so poor? Someone thinks it's time for 'régime change' in an oil-rich African country. What could possibly go wrong, after all? But is it really all about oil? Well, maybe not... Alan Michael Vickery is a self-confident, wealthy, and yet - let's be honest here - ethically-challenged businessman. He specializes in international finance (but don't call him a consultant). He's self-made. He's fought his way up from poverty. He's made enemies. He has a glamorous wife, a house in Chelsea, a beach-side mansion on Barbados, and a talented - if expensive - daughter. All he needs now is a little respect. And so he decides to advance his interests by getting into politics. Big mistake. You may not like him very much when you first meet him. But, by the end, you might just have changed your opinion... A deceptive plot to take over the 'richest country in Africa' in the name of Democracy. An ethically-challenged businessman on a voyage of self-discovery. A glimpse into the dark heart of the 'New Democratic Consensus'.
