This chapter begins with a brief update for the reader of the U.S. Navy taking the Koguryo crew into custody. Kang's attempt to salvage his plan by creating well-placed media leaks to blame the Japanese is successful, and the Korean vote for the removal of US troops is lost in the news. NUMA quickly and successfully finds the wreckage of the rocket and determines that the super-virus is not unleashed. Dirk Pitt, Jr. is not completely satisfied because Kang still lives.
