But when an unusually well-financed mercenary force seized the Alto Madidi mining complex in the Bolivian Andes, they set off a cascade of events that brought the global tin market to its knees-and threatened Francesca Pieralisi's seawall project. Tin was indispensable to the manufacture of construction exoskeletons, called \"connies,\" and connies were the only means by which the seawall could be built, to reclaim the farmlands that would stave off the looming threat of famine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo discover who had hired the mercenaries-and to determine if their goal was simply theft or an attack on EU interests-EU INTCEN tasked Francesca (and, with her, Cain) to go to Bolivia and find the truth. What they found was a plot by the richest man on Earth-or off of it-and a global extortion conspiracy involving bribery, kidnapping, and war. Francesca, undaunted by the odds, would stop at nothing to save her seawall project, but soon found herself betrayed by her own zeal, manipulated into compromising her reputation and career, and saw her life pushed to the cliff's edge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCain must now fight through a web of off-world, sovereign corporations, conspiracies and counter-conspiracies, to make a lie the truth, and to pull Francesca back from oblivion. From Sovereign Trade Zones in the American South to the rainforests of South America, Cain battles not only to remove the mercenary brigade, but to short-circuit the machinations of a trillionaire in \u003ci\u003eAn Uncalculated Risk\u003c\/i\u003e, book 3 of \u003ci\u003eThe Cain Series\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth W.
