The Phoenix Factor

Everyone abruptly disappears from a secret military base. Women are being kidnapped, the men with them left brutally slain. A long-abandoned research facility displays signs of activity.

These are just some of the pieces of the latest Gordian knot faced by the Computer Legion and their premier troubleshooting team Rogue Squadron.

Diverse investigations find common threads leading to a skein of deceit, global menace, and the possible end of the Legion. In the end, new allies and old enemies converge in a spectacular climax.

The Phoenix Factor is the fourth story of the Computer Legion. Crafted in the style of old movie serials with a comic book feel, this story written in the early 1990s is a light-hearted tongue-in-cheek action thriller.
