The Cup, is part fiction and part fact, as it shares the life of Ronnie, who from an early age becomes a major player in a 2000 years old quest. Born into post war Britain, how could he ever understand that his entire life, or most of it anyway, had already been planned. The women who shared his life, The British Secret Service, Mossad, and the mysterious, "Siobahn" with whom he becomes entangled, all seek to direct his pathway. Summer balls, and garden parties, with secrets, lies, and usually death, seemingly at every turn, until finally exhausted by it all, and running on empty, he discovers the biggest secret of all.
