From the ashes of nuclear devastation wrought on the cities of Washington and Moscow thirty years ago, a planet wide protectorate was formed in Britain called The Agency. The Agency enforce their own brand of defensive guardianship through espionage and counteraction, but not all of the Earth is united in this New World Order...as individual countries, states and rival organizations threaten to undermine and destroy all The Agency stand for. Escaping from the clutches of the nefarious C.A.B.A.L., Nigel Cord returns to Daedalus' jungle lair where a soul-searching decision confronts him; to protect the former mass murderer and ensure the world receives his amazing scientific legacy - or destroy the H.Q.'s protective barrier, so that the gathering forces of The Agency can launch a devastating assault on the Professor and settle Cord's thirty year grudge... Meanwhile in New York, Pippa, Chance, and Haiku finally close-in on the answers they have been looking for!
