A world where nuclear warheads can be hidden in a briefcase... A world
where bio-plagues are held suspended in a teardrop... On an Earth where
conventional armies are powerless to defend against the devastation
wrought by single assassins, the secret organisation known as SPIRAL
exists to fight a shadow war against fanatics and rogue states of every
creed and political persuasion. Remorseless, unstoppable, of every
country and of none, SPIRAL conducts its covert operations throughout
the world in a never-ending battle for humanity's survival. But now
SPIRAL's toughest operative, Carter, faces a new and terrifying
challenge. A machine has been developed which can hold the earth to
ransom: capable of wreaking seismic havoc, causing earthquakes and
eruptions on a global scale. Its name is Quake and it must be
destroyed.
