The year is 1934.
The world is still reeling from the Great War and the depression of the last decade.
Germany, once throttled by the treaty of Versailles, is gaining strength under its charismatic new leader, Adolf Hitler. He has already purged his political rivals and nothing seems to stand in his way. By manipulation and terror he has ascended to become absolute ruler of an emerging Empire.
Japan has invaded China, where the Long March toward Communism has begun; the Balkans are in turmoil and the young Soviet Union has joined the impotent League of Nations. Revolutions and civil wars plague much of the world.
The light of science cuts through the gloom of the past. The still young century promises to be an age of enlightenment and prosperity; explorers map the globe as physicists map the atom. The last secrets of the universe are elusive but cannot hide forever. Every day brings forth new discoveries and amazing treasures, though not every one is for the benefit of all mankind.
In America, notorious outlaws fall after relentless pursuit by J. Edgar Hoover and his G-Men. Citizens feel safe again, but it is a false sense of security as subversives, spies and infiltrators occupy every shadow.
In New York City, a group of adventurers are thrown together by fate. They will make a powerful team, if they can survive their first encounter...
