Publisher Description
This is a story about awakening from radical indifference. It's also a story about the dark liquid center that lies at the heart of our modern world: oil. For most of his career, Mason Burnside saw himself as a lot like CEO Jack Masterson. All those years playing his cards right, fighting his way up the ladder, getting steadily closer to what he'd always thought was the goal. But that was all before his triumphal Ecuador project turned into an environmental disaster. Taking the fall for it, he finds himself demoted to the humiliating position of sustainability manager. This leads him to a conference in New Orleans where he crosses paths with Jacob and Diana, until a category 4 storm sweeps them all into chaos. Before then, he never would have agreed to lead the dramatic attempt to rescue his predecessor, John Pennington who had mysteriously disappeared somewhere in Asia after stumbling upon an internal intrigue so damaging, that Masterson would stop at nothing to keep it secret.
