THE SALMA OPTION
A story based on real events.
Salma Game Reserve, Chad, North-Central Africa
​
When members of Sudan's RSF militia launch a violent raid
on the park, they leave death in their wake, including
the bodies of five park rangers. With the authorities
proving reluctant to pursue the attackers back across
the border, the small team of military advisors,
hired to train the ranger squads, takes up the chase.
Thomas Keel, Joseph Sekka, and freelance pilot, Crow,
are veterans of special forces operations around the
globe. Undaunted by the risk of a political fallout,
their pursuit of the killers is relentless and without mercy.
The trail leads from Africa to the UAE, and from there
to Thailand and, eventually, to Laos and a gambling
resort on the bank of the Mekong River, owned
and run by a reclusive Chinese billionaire, the leader
of an international criminal organization protected
by both Beijing and the Laos regime.
But to Keel and his team that's not a deterrent.
It's a challenge.
