Despite every effort on Lady X’s part, Buck and Sonny have survived, and with them the antigens needed to create a defence against the Antarctic virus – a failure that puts the mercenary woman in an extremely precarious position with her employers.
When those shadowy figures decide to move their plans to release the virus forward, no matter the cost in human lives, a race against time begins to save millions …
If you are expecting just superbly drawn fighter jet action it's there but this story takes in so much more. As usual the weaponry, scene sets and locations are wonderfully rendered and the colour adds even more tone to the story telling.
This goes well beyond fighter jets. It has elements of the best secret agent movies -action, twists and so on. However, there is definitely also a science fiction horror scenario that brings back memories of 1965's (1965??) The Satan Bug.
I had to look at the cover to make sure this was a Buck Danny book. The series is developing beyond anything it was in the past. As for Lady X..... I doubt that last page will be the last we see of her!
