Once
more picking up where the previous issue left off, Mike Cray has a new job. One
that International Operations won’t appreciate. He may not be going over to the
other side – but then again he might.
Meanwhile,
readers are treated to a handful of answers – enough to alleviate confusion and
keep us interested (well, me, anyway). Angie Spica has fallen in with her would-be
rescuers, and Jake Marlowe is the “clever, clever, daddy” with all the answers.
But
she’s soon to have bigger problems, as Skywatch – yet another nefarious
organization – has recognized the technology behind her high-tech
armor. And they aren’t happy. But didn’t I see those fighter craft on an old
episode of Battle of the Planets?
What
it all boils down to is IO oversees Earth, believing it to be a highly prized
jewel in the universe. Skywatch oversees everything else. That’s a lot, but
none of it is very appealing, compared to the Earth. And a fragile network of
atreaties and agreements holds the two groups at bay.
Now
that we have approached something resembling a plot, I’m much happier. I can
tell good guys from bad, and understand their various roles within their
respective organizations. If only this could have been done about five issues
ago.
