Anaconda Corp has reinvented an old Cold War technology for shooting people from orbit - this time, literally.Imagine: One bullet, no more Hitler or Saddam or any other tinpot dictator who would start wars, slaughter millions, and set civilization back to the middle ages.Orbital Sniper - great idea. Except that now, mad Dr. Night of Black Umbrella has stolen the Orbital Sniper Technology (OST), and wants to assassinate good guys unless his new dark, underworld consortium is paid vast ransom moneys.Enter Jack Gray, secret agent of last resort. He's the best in the business -- Ph.D. in History, master of his own martial art (Win Sun), expert in weapons, a nice guy with a few major troubles in his past.His greatest weakness: beautiful, brilliant women. It's mutual. They are as attracted to him as he is to them. Once in a while, a bad one gets into the mix. Watch out, Jack -- Sombra may be your final match. Gorgeous, ruthless, deadly, she is the spider of Black Umbrella, the terror brokerage that is upsetting the new world order.As the theft of OST threatens to upset the new world order, Jack's usual employers send him into the field to rescue a situation that's totally out of hand. This isn't your grandma's world of staid nation states fighting by some arcane rules. This is a brutal, anything goes new reality owned and operated by giant corponations. Face it, the old nation states didn't do such a good job, what with world wars and all. The new corponation states are efficient, surgically violent only when necessary, and aimed at the bottom line. Now Dr. Night, Chief Executive Officer of the first global terrorism brokerage, wants to add the final twist: one man, one world dictatorship. At that, even the world's top hired gun, Jack Gray, says Enough is Enough. But Black Umbrella (BLUM) is unique, brilliant, deadly, and without scruples. Have the corponations met their match already?Move over, Jimmy. It's the 21st Century. The rules are out the window. Jack Gray is here to play.
