The Cargo

In The Trade, Monir Young helped stop the sinister multinational CORE from gaining control of an invaluable supply of lithium on Cyprus. Now representing Cyprus in the deal for the lithium, Monir encounters a series of people and events that are mysteriously connected: A deadly sniper shooting in one of the safest nations on earth. A Singaporean technology expert who vanishes from a ship in the middle of the ocean. A Silicon Valley CEO determined to realize his vision of the future. And a Chinese gang leader with government connections who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. As Monir rushes to figure out how it’s all tied to the lithium, he works with friends new and old to uncover a plot with repercussions for the United States, Singapore, China—and the entire world.

The Trade

A phenomenal discovery in the most unlikely of places: An international team of geologists finds huge—and hugely valuable—quantities of lithium on the island-nation of Cyprus. Before long, the head geologist is found dead; international delegations from near and far arrive in search of the lithium rights; intelligence agencies monitor the situation from the shadows; and the mysterious Swiss-based multinational CORE sends in its ace deal-closer, Monir Young, to represent the company’s interests. CORE’s ruthless covert operators have laid the groundwork for Monir to acquire the lithium rights unchallenged. But the purchase talks take a dramatic turn when Monir discovers his employer’s role in a sinister hidden agenda. As he scrambles to expose CORE’s plans, Monir enters the crosshairs of powerful conspirators whose objective is to use the lithium’s enormous financial worth for their own geopolitical advantage—and, ultimately, global control.
