Synopsis/Details
Half a decade after the collapse of the Sol Federation which once ruled the non-Communist world with an iron fist, Salvatore Pasquale and the ARCUS organisation are exposed and branded as enemies of the world by a powerful 5th Column known simply as DIVIETO, founded and led by the enigmatic polymath Rosh Goldman. Miranda Ekerot, Salvatore's one-time superior and former partner, is thawed out from cryogenic stasis and is brainwashed to become an assassin for DIVIETO as part of Project Gladiator, a controversial experiment devised by ruthless cyberneticist Electra Daimler and naive geneticist Hermann Krumpf. With his own life and those of his allies in greater danger than before, Salvatore has no choice but to rely on external assistance - who can he trust? Will ARCUS survive?
