Mike Danger arrives in Cairo hot on the trail of enemy agents, but his trouble starts the moment he docks—and it only deepens when a desperate young dancer pulls him into her own escape from a dangerous crime boss. Pursued to an ancient pyramid outside the city, Mike must navigate a deadly trap that's far more elaborate than a simple ambush, with his Egyptian police allies racing to close in before the conspirators silence him for good.

Mike Danger and Johnny Adventure reunite in Constantinople when Johnny arrives with word that their old nemesis Doctor Zonrad is back in the jewel-smuggling game, using mysterious purple peacock statuettes as smuggling vessels.

It's a race against time to stop Zonrad before he can slip away and disappear into the intrigue of the East.

Two mountaineers, Trent and Knudson, attempt what no one has dared before: conquering K-8, a peak locals believe harbors danger and warn them away from—but Trent's curiosity about what lies on "the other side" drives them upward anyway. Battling treacherous ice, deadly gorges, and near-fatal falls, the pair claw their way toward the summit in a desperate race against the mountain itself. What they discover at the peak challenges everything they thought they understood about their climb.
