Their journey through the dark underbelly of the world's arms markets may lead only to damnation, but will Jonah one day make his way back to the light?

Then Koko and her team head for South Africa looking for Japanese robotics scientist Dr. Minami Amada, whose inventions have profitable military applications. Naturally, the competition would like to meet the good doctor as well, and the race is on to find her. In the international arms trading game, Koko likes to keep her friends close and her enemies closer, but getting too close to Koko is a good way to end up in a body bag...
