John Clark, a former member of the Seals elite force and later a CIA employee , is appointed head of a new anti-terrorist unit . While he was flying with Domingo "Ding" Chavez and Alistair Stanley to the unit's new base in England, the plane was hijacked by three Basque separatists . He overpowers the hostage takers along with his two colleagues.

In the course of the book, the special unit has to deal with several attacks around the world, which - as it turns out later - were planned or commissioned by one and the same person. The last attack is aimed directly at the family of John Clark and that of Domingo Chávez, who now has a child with Clark's daughter. Eventually, the men of the anti-terrorist unit "Rainbow" uncovered an international conspiracy of fanatical environmentalists who plan to exterminate the human race with a deadly virus released at the Olympic Games in Sydney . The decision is made in the Brazilian jungle , where the fanatics are wiped out by the men of the anti-terrorist unit.
