"The CIO sends Gatewood on diplomatic assignments to Japan, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and Spain. In Madrid, Harold meets with his old friend, King Carlos Alfonso IV, and the two discuss how to address the problem of Catalonian independence, which threatens to tear Spain apart, and damage America’s European interests. Gatewood finds time to see the La Tomatina, the world’s biggest tomato fight, in Brunol, Spain, and meets a beautiful and mysterious woman who steals his heart, and who impacts his mission. The riots in Barcelona, Spain, and Gatewood’s mission, are both complicated by the actions of the OWFA, and the AIO’s “Operation Electrical Strike”."
