The Crimson Flag

Ed Krasnyj is a complete psychopath, who made billions from a lucky gamble and other, more illegal methods. After this, he decides to run a country in the South Pacific, known as The Crimson Islands. It becomes one of the most secretive states in the world, run as a pure theocracy, letting no information or citizens get out of the country.

Meanwhile, the scientific community is investigating a large terrestrial object which passed by Earth in only a couple of days, taking an incredibly strange path. The scientific community speculates normal meteor activity, but one group thinks differently.

A group simply known as The Team is a group of scientists who work out mysteries about science. Their newest recruit, Jim Mac, opens the group's eyes to the large object and they begin to work on the mystery at once. What they find is that the object is constantly flying over The Crimson Islands. The Team also finds many other things about the islands, including the ruthless dictator, the inhuman national language, the class system and an incredible amount of pollution. The Team must solve the mystery of The Crimson Islands before the Crimson Flag is the only flag that is flown.
