The Sun Stealer

Synopsis

When Max Damage inherits the family business he assembles a team of misfits to help him sort through the messy bookkeeping and mysterious research and development projects-each of which comes with big headaches and some past enemy who wants to make sure that project never sees the light of day. The Team: Max Damage: A former Olympic fencer and bronze medalist with eagle-like vision, but who can't stand the bright light of day, and has to eat twenty thousand calories a day to maintain his Herculean physique. Minnie Zhinov: The dispossessed daughter of the Russian super-genius who has tinkered with her genetics in order to give her an intellect capable of fluently speaking a dozen languages and imbuing her with the strength of an Amazonian warrior. Seth Armstrong: The diminutive accountant with spiked green hair, a penchant for numbers and a knack for unraveling nefarious schemes. The Projects: A satellite capable of reflecting the sun's rays into the Arctic wilderness to supply warmth to the frozen tundra, but also capable of being focused into a deadly ray which can tear fighter planes and battleships asunder. A heat seeking rifle which a clan of Silat Gayong assassins will stop at nothing to obtain. A camouflage suit which effectively renders its wearer invisible and is hijacked by an old business partner who aims to assassinate his former associates. A sonic weapon capable of breaking up the ice-pack and which is pressed into service to rescue a wayward starlet on an ill-advised journey to the Northern Pole.
