Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Blame Liesel: it was all her idea... • First, she meets Tom in the Golden Dragon hotel in Nonthaburi. • Second, she lets him take her to his room. • Third, she tells Tom to: “Dream of Jenna dressed in royal blue sapphires.” Oh yes... Jenna! She’s a young Thai girl. She’s Tom’s girlfriend – and she works for a Bangkok jeweller – and this makes her an asset to Project Sapphire. But romance is not the reason for the visit. Tom and Liesel are here to work. They have a contract with Veronique’s company to train the Thailand Border Patrol to use a drone to monitor the heroin traffic that crosses their border with Myanmar. Liesel has an idea: if she’s flying a drone, why not use it to earn a little extra...? She knows Olaf. He’s a Russian engineer who is mining for sapphires, just across the border in Myanmar. Liesel believes that with help from Tom, she and Olaf can help themselves to some of the smaller rough-cut sapphires... and use the drone to make lots and lots of money! It’s a slam-dunk project! Tom flies it in - Olaf loads it up - Tom flies it back - Jenna sells them. What could possibly go wrong...?

Book Description
Sapphire, as the Preface explains, is a tale or saga of perhaps the most dangerous period of the Cold War. This was a time when the two superpower antagonists seeking the mastery of the world were challenging each other in important peripheral areas around the world, risking dangerous escalation to major war. At the same time they were creating enormous arsenals of total destruction on hair trigger alert in a situation where neither side had a good idea what the other was doing, therefore having to always worst case everything. It is extraordinary that the fatal mistake was not made somewhere along the lineand it nearly was during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 at the end of this periodprecipitating worldwide nuclear war. Into this maelstrom entered a young woman tasked by her employer, the Central Intelligence Agency, to try to find a way to provide more openness between the sides and reduce worst-case planning as well as to try to help prevent regional confrontations from damaging US interests and spinning into world crisis. Sapphire is the story of that young woman, primarily during the years 1954 to 1961.
