One of these decides to profit from his own research. He has formed an organisation called 'Phoenix', which has a complex web of members from international governments , leading political and military circles. This individual is a world leading scientist but his activities come to the attention of MI6 headed by Howard Long. With his MI6 Howard Long enlists other lead members of the CIA and other international Intelligence organisations to help investigate 'Phoenix'. As a result of what is found in China, MI6 has the key to the 'Phoenix' organisation and its apparent aims. As a result, 'Phoenix' and its involvement with leading political figures across the world, is exposed . It becomes clear to the CIA and MI6 that 'Phoenix', has to be stopped. This takes many actions, some unsuccessful. The organisation hits back hard on occasions! Meetings take place between the Arab, US, British and Russian intelligence heads who organise various operations to try and stop 'Phoenix' from achieving its world wide ambitions. The secondary objective is the capture of the Head of 'Phoenix' and his team, who have all vanished. During these actions a background event in Yellowstone is overshadowing many activities in the USA. Eruptions and the contamination that results, is also commanding the attention of the US Government and its forces. With the help of the international intelligence agencies, the CIA and MI6, try to formulate a solution to stop the 'Phoenix' organisation and its objectives.
