They've been inseparable partners ever since the day Gil Todd, a renowned British reporter, hauled a drunken Mickey Flynn out of a New York City bar and helped him become one of the world's most respected photojournalists. But their odd-couple relationship -- as well as Flynn's life -- is threatened when he gets shot covering a demonstration and a shard of bone lodges itself in his spine. Flynn faces a life of immobilising, excruciating pain. Refusing to accept his career is over, Flynn agrees to do what may be his final shoot -- photographing a terrorist training camp run by the PLA. But is he being used as a pawn by the terrorists, or by Israeli intelligence? And who is the mysterious Sinbad, known only by the terrifying, ingenious bombs he leaves behind? It's a good thing for Mickey Flynn he's got grit, determination and Gil Todd on his side. Or is it?
