Bound to Get Burned

Set against the background of international oil politics in the volatile Middle East, Bound To Get Burned stages a bold espionage tale and weaves through politics and military stratums with a commanding panache that is sure to keep you gripping to the end. An intelligence officer, Mark O'Neill focuses a shape light on the most troubling threat confronting Americans today: the instability of oil prices and the consequences of supply disruption. With daring strokes, he delves into intimate details of the socio-politics in the Persian Gulf, and describes the delicate balance of power in the region with the expanse of an insider's account. The novel pokes into the role of the State Department and Army officials, illustrates the character of young military officers, and provides a rare glimpse behind the veil of anti-western Saudi Arabia.
