Burma oozes greed, corruption, and hope. When an Air Force X-37B mini-space shuttle mysteriously crash lands along the China-Burma border, the Department of Homeland Security tags contractor Gar Randolph to get it back. India and China deploy special forces to do the same. Gar assembles a most unusual team to find the wreckage and carry its top secret components back to Siam.
