The St. Petersburg Addendum

By: Sylvester Allred,Burns Dennis,257

Alaskan State Representative and King crabber Clint Hammond has witnessed first hand the unimpeded exploitation of Alaska's resources by greedy men, and he desperately wants to prevent this tragedy from happening in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). But backroom deals by oil lobbyists and politicians are proving difficult to defeat. A mysterious Russian document -- The St. Petersburg Addendum -- discovered inside a WWII Japanese Zero off Kodiak Island changes everything. Drawn further into the mystery of the Addendum, he comes to realize after the brutal murders of his friends just how ruthless men can be in order to control the oil that lies beneath the fragile tundra of ANWR.
