Against Mongol hordes and Purple Squadrons, Operator #5 and his fighting patriots had battled through New York’s long, grim siege — until the Black Plague of medieval Europe fell upon them!
An entire country transfixed–drawn by an intoxicating power to hurl themselves toward destruction. Beneath the Earth, in flaming furnaces of mystical power, lay Operator 5’s future. Will he risk his life–let alone betray the orders of the United States Intelligence Service–in order to dilute this devilish cult of death? Can Jimmy Christopher, with the aid of his loyal pal, Tim Donovan, defy temptation and meet this leprous annihilation head on?
Steele’s Operator 5 adventure has the entire Agency hypnotized–held in the grips of Zaavian cultists. Against Z-7’s orders, Jimmy Christopher will risk dying for his country. Can this spell be broken through this journey into the Cavern of the Damned?
