The Sun Stealer

By: Joel Jenkins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

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.
