Kathy Austin and her Brazilian Navy partner have finally stumbled upon the lost German submarine but quickly discover that they aren’t the first to set foot in it since it was abandoned. When Reinhart and the doctor, the two Nazis looking for the gold hidden in the U-boot, arrive in turn, bringing with them Jo, the albino with otherworldly powers, secrets will be revealed, old debts will be settled, and the British spy will finally be able to close her investigation – for now.

I can never find a fault in this series as it is very well written, drawn exceptionally well and the colour work adds a great deal to the overall work. However, and as I am getting older it matters, three years to publish five volumes can be seen as a bit of a stretch, The problem is that we, the readers, do not know what goes on behind the scenes and, importantly, the translation has to be carried out and that is not quick.

I wonder whether there is more of Jo's story to be told. From suspected extraterrestrial to genetic experiment his story has been quite bumpy..in fact, in this volume I thought "That's it. He's dead"..but that is where the reader gets fooled (damn writers!!!).  There are a few surprises and a snappy ending for someone (you will laugh hysterically at that if you've read it...no, you will).

I suspect Kathy has not seen her last mission for British Intelligence and this creative team keeps things nice and fresh so we'll see!

There are five volumes in Kathy's first mission, Kenya and five in her second outing, Namibia. All three volumes together ought to keep the X Files fans out there happy as well as the sci fi buffs.All series are still available via Cinebook and their web site -the best way to order.
