Its 1928, and the Cassidy brothers have grown their fleet of merchant ships from four to twenty-nine. Liams special relationship with Prince Hiroshi of the Japanese Imperial household has seen the awarding of a unique and rare Emperors Warrant to Liam and the formation of a Consortium of the top Japanese businesses who collectively are building port infrastructure throughout Japan to accommodate the imports flowing in on Cassidy ships, primarily oil and minerals all of which when processed are contributing to the growth of the Japanese Navy. Liam marries Magriet Van Doorf, a highly skilled Art Historian and Art Restorer at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Magriet proves to be not only a loving and devoted wife but also has an exceptionally talented and logical business brain. As Liams connections in Japan become known, various Western intelligence services seek him out, including MI6, American intelligence services, and German naval intelligence officer Captain Wilhelm Canaris. Liam again meets Adolf Hitler, whose life he had saved the year before in Hamburg. Liam and his friends become fully aware of the genocidal aims of Hitler, especially after Hiroshis friend and mentor, the mystical Toshi, described him as the next antichrist and predicted war. Hitler asks Liam to spy on the Japanese, placing Liam in a difficult position given his loyalty to Prince Hiroshi and the Emperor. The clouds of war are gathering and Liam and his business empire are faced with a series of difficult decisions.
