The CIA, An Unkonwn Force, and Russia's Secret Cache of Diamonds Eric Dane, a new CIA officer, finds himself shot and left for dead after his very first assignment. This makes for a golden, or rather a diamond, opportunity for Operation Pop Up--the CIA's code name for its mission to stop trillions of precious stones about to flow out of Russia's Popigai Crater. Now as a ghost in the field, Eric vows to unearth the forces that hold the world's diamond market in its hands. However, the serpentine trail he takes leads to shocking discoveries far more bizarre than anyone imagines.
