Plot summary: An investigation into Russian crime gangs uncovers a number of mysterious high-tech items originating in a libertarian enclave in Belize. Investigations into the source uncover something far more disturbing.
Note: This is yet another 'terrorist of the month' plotline of the kind that had been popular with both the 'Bolanverse' and other low end 'gung-ho action' action series since the 1980s, this one is only of interest for the authors decision to not even bother to come up with a snappy name for their terrorists. Probably the most interesting part of the story is the infiltration of the libertarian enclave in Belize that the terrorists have compromised.
