Introduction

Who Are We, and Where Do We Come From?

Religion offers very simple answers - science offers new possibilities. Did we indeed rise out of that primeval goo by coincidence, or are we the result of divine

intervention? If you take the religious stand, Man was made at the end of a week's hard work, and God was pretty tired.

Imperfections, flaws, weaknesses, vulnerability - that's the price we pay for being the last item on the assembly

line. No matter which version is right - if you can improve on this prototype, that not even evolution has perfected yet, by means of science - create a sharper original instead

of this sloppy copy, this mortal coil - why not?

Ask yourself - what's worth living for? A lot. What's worth dying for, then? Not a lot. So if you had the choice, it wouldn't be that

hard, would it? It would be worth killing for, wouldn't it?

Introduction

Life is a blessing, but death can be a friend - there's always a price to pay. In nature there's neither

good or bad, right or wrong - there are consequences.

Not so long ago, a few able scientists were willing to assume the cape of the creator,

delve deep into this creational abyss to find the secrets, to stretch the known

boundaries, to create life - they could not foresee the consequences…

Chapters

Hong Kong, China

Terminating the Red Dragon triad leader Lee Hong will be nearly impossible. Hong resides inside an enormous complex, complete with bar, restaurant, shop, brothel, helipad, park and possibly even more. A small army

guards the place...and the Hong Kong police are on his payroll.

The only way to get to him would be by instigating a war between the two large triads Red Dragon and Blue Lotus and then somehow contriving

to remove Hong’s police protection.

Killing Lee Hong will take a detailed plan and a lot of preparation.

Chapters

Valle del Cauca, Columbia

Somewhere in the Colombian rainforest a drug lord is preparing his next shipment of mortal merchandise. His camp is hidden away in the jungle and the only road leading in is extremely well guarded. It's actually impossible to gain access to the camp by road. But there must be another way in to the camp.

Our sparse information about the camp has led us to conclude that it holds a laboratory, a mansion and an airstrip.

Chapters

Budapest, Hungary

At the Thermal Bath Hotel in Budapest, a peace summit is being held. All the leaders of the great nations are gathered for the event. The old hotel is swarming with security and press.

The Austrian Terrorist Franz Fuchs is planning a hideous attack on the peace summit. He has developed a very dangerous chemical mixture

and constructed a bomb with it. Somehow he has managed to get the bomb through security. The bomb is now at the hotel. If we alarm the authorities we will give away our source for this information.

The bomb could easily destroy the large building and leave the world without leadership.

Chapters

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

At the harbor of Rotterdam the Russian gunrunner Arkadij Jegorov, aka "Boris," is planning his next deal. He's got a secret blueprint of a nuclear weapon and a couple of nuclear warheads. He's about to sell the blueprint to an unscrupulous dictator.

The deal is supposed to go through within the next weeks. In the meantime the gunrunner is dealing arms to the local gangs. The Agency knows that the police have been trying to find him but he is well hidden in the huge harbor area. To search all ships would be impossible. We're thinking

of another way of tracing the ship.
