Plot:
In the shadowy world of super-powered espionage, it takes a special kind of operative to get the job done. It takes a master of disguise; a speaker of many tongues; an expert at intelligence gathering; a genius at improvisation.
It takes Rick Mason, The Agent.
Mason is a freelance international operative, a man without a country. Bound only by his personal code of ethics, there is nowhere he will not go, no one he dares not face, and no power he cannot overcome. He is a man of mystery and hard-hitting action, who skirts both the seamy belly of the underworld and the glamorous jet set of the beautiful people.
When the unstable third world country of Costa Brava is conquered by super villains, it becomes a drug-running haven for the corrupt. And more, it may become a base through which the powerful criminals may launch guerrilla attacks into the United States itself. The diplomats’ hands are tied against the power of the sovereign nation, and stopping Costa Brava will take more than strong-arm military tactics. It will require a special kind of operative to get the job done
If he can survive.
