HISTORY REPEATS? Governments around the world are shocked when the sleepy South American nation of Manu unexpectedly launches a rocket from a secret jungle base. How could a backwards country, dismissed by every superpower as irrelevant, join the Space Age seemingly overnight and in such spectacular fashion? As every intelligence agency on earth scrambles to send men to Manu, MIC director Simon Kirk enlists the only two agents who can be counted on in a crisis: Patrick "Podge" Becket and the brilliant Dr. Thaddeus Wainwright. The MIC boys uncover something far worse than one little ICBM hiding out in the deep, dark jungle. A group of German expatriates, still seething over the collapse of their vaunted Third Reich, have hatched a twisted plot of revenge that soon spreads from Manu across the entire globe. The world hangs in the balance, and only Podge Becket and Thaddeus Wainwright can stop civilization from tumbling off the cliff and into a thousand-year nightmare!
