In year 2005, with the discovery of fresh oil deposits around the Bakassi peninsula, operation blackcat was launched, the stealthy and witless Franco-Cameroonian plot to finally seize control of the disputed peninsula from Nigeria.
But from Abuja came words that nothing would dispossess her of the oil-rich enclave hence setting the stage for a bloody cross-border war. Saddle with the responsibility of charting Nigeria’s campaign was Ruben Bako, the National Security Adviser. But he could only succeed with the assistance of the beautiful Art student, Florence Attah, who by twist of fate, found herself on a dangerous assignment for the country’s National Intelligence Agency.
As a flurry of diplomatic actions build up in the midst of high military tension and deadly intelligence maneuver, the reader is transported form Abuja to Yaounde and Malabo. From Paris to Washington and London. And from the bickering floor of the U.N. to the smiting terrain of the zone of thunder itself-the Bakssi peninsula.
