About this Collection

This volume collects the first story arc of Greg Rucka's espionage series, following the operatives of the Special Operations Section of the British Secret Intelligence Service as they navigate a high-stakes mission in the wake of a botched operation. The trade paperback includes issues #1-4 of the original Oni Press series, introducing protagonist Tara Chace and the gritty, realistic world of modern intelligence work.

In "Chapter 1," British intelligence operative Tara Chace survives a deadly ambush after assassinating a Russian mafia arms dealer near Kosovo, now forced to flee across rugged terrain to reach her extraction point 87 kilometers away. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Steve Rolston, with lettering by Sean Konot, this tense, grounded thriller sets a relentless pace from the first page. The stark, atmospheric cover by Tim Sale captures the isolation and urgency of Tara’s desperate journey.
