Jate Goldmet thought he was doing the right thing when he and his team of inter-dimensional operatives destroyed a lab built to produce the deadliest virus known to man. But when a superior complains about Jate's insolence and insistence in getting his team back to Prime Trace safely, the roof caves in on him.

Put on what may turn out to be permanent suspension, Jate sets aside some time to pursue his fascination with Egypt. There, he encounters a mysterious female interest and then runs into an old friend who has a job for him, When he learns his new gal-pal is an operative of Prime Trace's iteration of Interpol and that he's her investigative target, he barely gets away with his freedom- and his life.

When his old friend tells him the job he's offering is breaking an even older friend out of a heavily-guarded jail, he wonders if he isn't in over his head. Then, when he starts getting recruitment feelers from a potential employer who is definitely not human, Jate wonders if he's lost his mind.

Overcoming problems with his Minoan employers has never been easy, but this time Jate may have taken on more than any one man- or superman- can bear.
