Former British soldier Jonathan Pine goes undercover to expose arms dealer Richard Roper and the corrupt ties between intelligence agencies and illegal weapons sales, with the story updated to the time of the Arab Spring in Egypt. The core plot focuses on espionage, personal revenge, and high-level corruption in a classic thriller style. Any references to Western power or historical exploitation remain background elements of the arms-trade story and do not appear as modern identity or social-justice messaging.
