Cold War superspy Evan Tanner lost the ability to sleep on a battlefield
in Korea. So where the heck has he been since the '70s?
Frozen. Cryogenically. A Tanner-sicle. Which he never thought would
happen when he walked into a basement in Union City, New Jersey, more
than a quarter century ago. Now he's unthawed and ready to rumble, and
his somewhat addled, former super-secret boss, "the Chief," is glad his
favorite operative's active again.
Tanner awoke to a different world, though some bad things have remained
the same . . . or gotten worse. Even before he can fully acclimate
himself to this perplexing future, Tanner's off to Burma (which isn't
really Burma anymore) to pose as a monk, destabilize the government,
dodge a lethal double-cross, and rescue a beautiful prisoner.
The world's still full of conspiracy, corruption, greed, political
chicanery--and beautiful women. So Tanner's back with a vengeance, with
a lot of lost time to make up for.
