Author�s Preface

This story takes place in my �alternate universe� which began with For the Dark and continues now through this sixth story. Here�s the very quick and dirty catch-you-up so you don�t have to read five other stories:

For the Dark: Section One is disbanded by the government. Our Gang, including Stephen, escapes the general purge (of course they can�t be left alive) and has to decide whether to stay together. They are given sanctuary by Poole, a different kind of terrorist fighter, who had earlier saved Madeline's life (see The Virus). They decide to join his Caribbean-based organization, try to stay alive and continue their work.

Argus: Operations' past comes back to haunt him when a mission with Poole's organization, Argus, requires him to confront three demons from his POW past in a Count-of-Monte-Christo tale of revenge. One of them is Daniel Tucker, who we see in again in Waiting because Ops doesn�t kill him.

Soldiers Once�and Young: Dual story line requiring Madeline and Poole�s people to rescue from Arab terrorists a young chemist who has invented a synthetic substitution for petroleum. At the same time, Operations has his son Stephen virtually snatched from under his nose by his old nemesis George. They meet again in the jungles of Vietnam. George is killed. Walter admits his part in bringing Ops into Section.

Plus �a Change: Michael and Nikita return to Ireland (ref. The Sacrifice � no continuity of the story line) to try and trap a terrorist from Michael�s misspent youth. Madeline admits that Adrian, who she had sent to safety with Poole instead of allowing her to be canceled by Operations, is once again heading Section in their absence.

Retrograde: Adrian is dying � of natural causes ironically enough. She plots to bring Michael and Nikita back into Section One to take over. Nikita (big surprise) turns out not to be quite ready in the ruthlessness department, so Madeline is finally brought back as well. Ops is left out in the cold until Adrian is safely dead and Madeline convinces him to come back. But only on her terms.

Now to the story�
