Imagine three precious objects that embody the soul of a nation. Imagine again a people prepared to fight to extinction to save them. This is not some fantasyland. This is Japan. Uncovered by a storm, a golden box worth more than the GDP of a country lies glittering in forty foot of water in a remote cove. If you found it, you might think yourself blessed.

His savant abilities to call the financial markets have made him hyper rich. His fortune attracts trouble like flies to muck. A package too hot for Tokyo and too dangerous for New York lands in his lap. Is he the luckiest man in the world or is he doomed?
