The evil oil tycoon from the country of Shandra, Sharmon Plurscad, has threatened the US and countries abroad with terrorist attracts. Using weapons of mass destruction, Plurscad has said he would destroy major cities if his demands are not met. His ultimate goal is to rule the world with his strange religious cult.

Showing the world great determination, Plurscad managed to launch his privately funded satellite 200-miles into orbit, complete with a new heat-sinking technology capable of leveling anything within a 200-mile radius. Aimed at major cities, the satellite has been programmed to strike if any attempts are made to destroy it.

Mario Rackman Jr., a special operations agent for the Navy, has obtained a secret code capable of dismantling the satellite. On this highly dangerous mission deep in the treturous mountains of Shandra, he also managed to kill the only other person with this code, a scientist involved in the weapon's creation.

But on his way out of the country, Rackman was captured and placed in a torture chamber until he gave Plurscad's goon squad the code.

Penny Cest and Cindy Taylor were summoned to meet the challenge of this most dangerous situation. With Cest's martial art skills and Taylor's extreme intelligence, the two women must free Rackman, capture Plurscad and then fly into orbit to dismantle the space weapon.

Penny Cest and Cindy Taylor first teamed up in 1985, The Corvette Killer, to stop a serial murderer. Once again in 2002, A Travel Through Time, the dual managed to stop the threat of a time paradox capable of destroying the universe.

The first series was published in The Santa Clara American, a Silicon Valley Newspaper, as a weekly series. It ran from October, 1985 to June, 1986.
