Aprašymas

Samantha and James Coppi are living the good life. A massive horse

ranch in Colorado Springs almost as big as the Island of Manhattan.

A sixteenth-century chateau in Lyon, France. A business global empire

that has a worth larger than most countries. An empire so powerful that

it can overthrow governments. Now the Coppis are embarking on a new

venture: the expansion of a railroad.

And not just any railroad, but a behemoth that encompasses the entire

Southwest, from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. Not bad, for a confused

couple that met by chance in a country honky tonk. The Coppis future back

in 1968 looked bleak-she was pregnant with someone's child, not James's.

He was assigned to an infantry brigade headed to a war in Southeast Asia. It

appeared that all the odds were stacked against the young duo back in 196

8.

But now it is 1981. Sam is pregnant and is expecting their fourth child. What

the Coppis desire most is an unexciting and routine lifestyle, an existence

that will allow the couple to enjoy the fruits of their labor. But you really

cannot turn back the wheels of time, can you? With so much wealth, can

the couple ever hope to find a peaceful, ordinary life?

You don't get to their status without overcoming obstacles on the road to

riches. A fortune cannot be made without eliminating threats that want to

take it all from you. And you don't get to the top without creating enemies

along the way.

This political thriller begins in Los Angeles, continues to Africa and South

America, and eventually reaches Washington, DC.
