content

Two of the largest oil fields on the North American continent, Athabasca in Canada and Prudhoe Bay in Alaska , received threats of sabotage. The company Jim Brady Enterprises, which has made a name for itself in the field of anti-sabotage, is called in for support . Their employees Dermott and Mackenzie, themselves former operations managers in the field of oil extraction, begin their first investigations on site. The employees of the local oil companies are initially not cooperative, and it also turns out that the oil production facilities can hardly be protected effectively. The first attack quickly occurs, the property damage is minor, but two fatalities are to be mourned. The FBI gets involved. Then comes the demand of the gangsters: One billion dollars would be wanted in order to forego further attacks. The Jim Brady staff finally discovered that these acts of sabotage could only come from insiders in the oil companies.
