In 2007, the retired French aircraft carrier Clemenceau was purchased by a UK company, allegedly for scrap. Yet the true was other, as the Clemenceau was indeed bought by the Private Military Company Sanders International and christened Privateer. In an unprecedented move that may have opened the door to the regular use of PMCs, the UN Security Council mandated Sanders International to intervene in Somalia; on the war against piracy. Yet getting there was already an adventure by itself and as the plot evolves, Mike Sanders will find himself trapped in a CIA plot to destroy the European Union.
