Juan Cabrillo ist dem Waffenhändler Vendor auf der Spur. Es gelingt ihm sogar, sich in dessen Organisation einzuschleusen. Doch dann erhält er den Auftrag, das neuste Waffensystem des Verbrechers zu testen – und zwar, indem er persönlich dagegen antritt! Während Cabrillo um sein Leben kämpft, startet Vendor bereits eine Machtdemonstration. Er sendet einen ganzen Schwarm KI-gesteuerter Drohnen aus. Sobald diese ihr Ziel erreichen und ein tödliches Toxin ausstoßen, lässt sich der dritte Weltkrieg kaum noch verhindern. Nur Juan Cabrillo hat noch eine Chance, den zerstörerischen Plan zu vereiteln. Non-Stop-Action, Abenteuer und Gegner, auf die James Bond neidisch wäre – das bieten auch die anderen Juan-Cabrillo-Romane, zum Beispiel »Feuermeer« und »Brennender Sand«.
