Riassunto:

A U.S. arms deal gone wrong. A hedge fund billionaire with eyes on the presidency. And a conspiracy that could ignite a war.

The plan was simple: foment a small-scale conflict in Eastern Ukraine that will prevent the vast Ukrainian shale gas field from being tapped. Should the project succeed, Leviathan Global's billionaire founder stands to profit mightily from the sale of gas reserves in Slovakia. But when a disillusioned staffer named Hugh Eckhart uncovers a dossier containing bank accounts laying out the conspiracy, things begin to unravel.

From New Haven and D.C. to Kiev and Bratislava, Firebird exposes the corrupt machinery connecting war, money, and political power—and the cost of standing in its way.
