Across six thousand miles and spanning two continents an unseen hand moved living pawns over a chessboard of death. The stake was the life blood of a nation, the symbol — the Red Maggot — a fire to unholy ambition, the possession of which bound a man’s soul to the Devil.

And Secret Agent X — man of a thousand faces and conqueror of kings of crime — found himself parried by the ageless weapons and black magic of the Far East.
