The Viper

Grand Prix racing and international terrorism make for a lethal combination. Gus Walter, a young and talented driver, is hired by the Emir of Qataban to be part of the oil-rich nations new Formula 1 team. Guss wife, Aimee, a former CIA agent, encourages him to join. But they soon find themselves entangled in a deadly feud between two sheiks in the Emirs entourage. One is pro-Western and finances the team as a promotion program for Qatabans nascent auto industry, which is devoted to making high-speed supercars.

The second sheik runs a terrorist cell embedded as cover within the racing team. He is tolerated and actively supported by the Emir as the rulers way of appeasing radicals in Qataban and to stay in power. Gus and Aimee become trapped by these conflicting Arab ambitions and a target for the terrorists. 

The couples competence with fire arms and high-performance machines becomes tested to the limit. Federal agents are unable to help. In the end, survival is up to them.
