Pogrom

The Maltese Cat is officially a business consultant.

In actuality, he has been involved in corporate espionage for most of his career.

He targets corrupt businessmen and politicians and makes a handsome living out of correcting their inequities.

His home base is his native San Francisco. He is assisted by Zapp, Inc., a collective of young and brilliant computer wizards. The Maltese Cat is a world traveler, a passionate polo and tennis player, an excellent cook, and an avid individualist who knows how to spread the wealth.The Maltese Cat is invited to Saudi Arabia by his polo-playing friend Bruce and a prince from the ruling Royal Family, ostensibly to work on a consultancy project.

When he arrives he finds that there are rumors of an atomic weapon being constructed in Saudi Arabia by an alleged member of the Royal Family, a black sheep who is known as the Rogue Prince.

The target: Israel. Although the Cat initially declines the project, he stays on to assist in the search.

Aided by the Zapp Kids, who have problems of their own in San Francisco, and by Mossad, Israel's intelligence unit, the laboratory and the bomb are discovered in time.

All appears to be well. The Cat begins to enjoy his stay with Bruce and his friend the Prince by playing polo in the newly created club in Jeddah.

But The Rogue Prince has other plans. The laboratory was only a diversion to cover up his real target.

He is now free to initiate a nefarious plot that could not have been anticipated.

Upon discovering this, the Cat tries to bring Mossad back for help.

The Saudi government believes it is just a bad rumor and refuses to help once more.

If the Rogue Prince succeeds, it will change the entire world map and forever alter the shape of nations in every corner of the world.The Maltese Cat must succeed this time.

The clock is ticking...
