**No one has ever heard of ODIN.** ODIN is about as secret a government agency as it gets. Because within ODIN there is a general operations department that speaks for itself - ODIN 5i, which deals with intelligence gathering, and then there is ODIN 1i, which deals with operations so secret that even the CIA can't touch them. All three departments are controlled by the iron hand of the Chief, a giant with a gigantic IQ. His best agent is Alex Mason, tough and cold-blooded - a law unto himself. But when ODIN 5i, an agent stationed at the US Embassy in Manila, goes missing and his encrypted laptop goes missing, the entire ODIN structure is threatened. Then, one by one, the agents he led begin to disappear, and the situation begins to look dire. Alex Mason is sent to Manila, where he discovers the growing shadow of Chinese imperialism, threatening not only America's presence in the Pacific, but the security of the entire Western world... **This is a job for ODIN 1i** **And for Alex Mason*.
