When Diplomacy Fails by Other Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.
- Alex Marlow and Ripple Creek Security's best personal security detail return to action! This time, they really don't like their principal, World Bureau of State Minister Joy Herman Highland - a highly-placed bureaucrat with aspirations to elected office. Even worse, Highland's assistant wants to publicize every movement and action for her boss's pending campaign, which is anathema to good security. With a person of this status, it's not a case of someone wanting her dead. The only question is how many people want her dead, and what are they bringing to the fight?
