In this off-calendar follow-up to Lowell Francis’ NBA Express campaign, Jimmy Rook the former Criminal and deniable MI6 Burglar returns as part of a new team comprising Lena Karppi, a Handler with the Finnish NBI until her partner went missing; Vlad Rostov who used to do SIGINT for the GRU until the Conspiracy betrayed him and he ran; and Eun-Jung Rhee an ex-NSA Assassin who had a close encounter with ‘something’ in Austria that tested her faith. We open in the Jordanian desert overlooking the Dead Sea where the team are set to rescue a missing asset. There’s goats, a box, a big bang, and a surprise, before they head to Amman in pursuit of a suspicious business woman. Then … a corporate villa, a shadow that moves, and slaughter … before an escape and an interesting offer …
