WHAT'S A NICE MAD SCIENTIST LIKE YOU DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?

When Dr. Morgen Bredell decides to take VX nerve gas to whole new levels of lethal, she sets herself up for assassination.

Not a problem.

The trouble starts when rogue regimes and players of questionable virtue begin searching for a 40-ton cache of VX lost in the Iraqi Desert since Gulf War 2. That's when Blade – Major David MacLaren – has to step in to keep the nerve agent out of everybody's hands, a decision which is likely to get him killed in the process. But Blade knows no price is too high to prevent someone from using the VX to put into play the contents of a deadly document known only as

THE PROMETHEUS LETTER.
