A letter written in East Berlin in 1980 becomes an anarchist’s outline for destruction more than ten years after the Berlin Wall fell. Ink that dried during the Cold War is quickly becoming a trail of blood in the post-Soviet era. As each physical point detailed in the letter becomes victim to savage acts of terror, World Espionage Bureau (WEB) agents are sent undercover to determine the mystery behind the longhand words, as well as to stop the trail of destruction. Turning obscure clues into solid intelligence on an impossible timeline, the team is tasked with unmasking the psychotic terrorist responsible for the mayhem. Once again, Berlin is subjected to a savage evil it hasn’t seen since the days that barbed wire and machine guns split the city. Three agents have three days to stop it. See less

State security officer Gheorge Preda was assassinated in Bucharest by a CIA sniper in 1988. Over a decade later, an evidence trail erupts to potentially expose the unsanctioned operation—even detailing in cryptic messages the exact location of the murder weapon. Stopping the evidence leak proves to be more than a mere coverup for the agents of the World Espionage Bureau (WEB). The mission they undertake brings the agents to Bucharest where they race against time—as well as the frontier police and foreign operatives—to recover a signaling device that had been dormant for years. It takes more than planning, skill, and deceit to pull off what WEB Command is, behind the scenes, calling impossible. It takes a wedding. It takes another assassination. See less
