The X-Men call him Wolverine.While visiting Japan, he is recruited to recover a stolen experimental drug, one that has the potential to be a true miracle cure for all human disease-or a sadistic means of enslaving the world. With every hour bringing mankind closer to tragedy, he embarks on a daring mission to identify the thieves and thwart their terrifying agenda.From the back alleys of Tokyo to the smugglers' coves of Brazil, from the opulent palaces of St. Petersburg to the war-torn villages of Africa, Logan's quest takes him from one deadly setting to the next.

Wolverine owes a favor to an old friend, from whose corporation was stolen a very dangerous drug that could cure all the world’s illnesses, or enslave millions. A corporate executive, Wai Ying, is assigned to travel with him to recover the drug and a kidnapped scientist. She is more than she appears, and quickly becomes a valuable ally to Logan as he uncovers the thieves and tracks them around the world.
Wolverine is a blunt instrument, and damn good at it. And this story has no shortage of brutal, violent action scenes that showcase his battle skills and his healing factor. However, the author also shows another side that is calculating and keenly intelligent. Logan has lived a long time and acquired decades of knowledge and history. I particularly loved a scene where he is undercover and is put on the spot to demonstrate a sommelier’s knowledge – which he does! The mutual respect that develops between him and Wai Ying is a great complement to the action.
Overall, this was an excellent book and I look forward to reading more Wolverine and/or X-Man novels. A shame this is out of print, and I hope Titan Books adds this title to their rerelease schedule. ( )
