SOMETHING ASTONISHING IS HEADING OUR WAY . . . A massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth and humanity is braced for annihilation – but the end doesn’t come . . . Because it's not an asteroid . . . it’s a three-mile-tall alien figure that comes to earth outside Little Springs, Nebraska. Dubbed ‘the giant’, its body apparently pierced by a blade, its arrival transforms this quiet red-state farm town into a top-secret government research site and major metropolitan area, flooded with soldiers, scientists, government agents, bureaucrats, spies, criminals, conspiracy theorists . . . and a killer. As the sheriff of Little Springs, David Blunt thought he’d be keeping the peace among the same people he’d known all his life, not breaking up chanting crowds of conspiracy theorists, busting drugs gangs, dealing with doomsday cults, struggling to control town hall meetings about immigrants, and invaders and the construction of a mosque. Or trying to catch a cunning and seemingly untraceable killer. As the brutal, bizarre murders strike ever closer to home, Blunt – increasingly troubled by strange, unsettling dreams of a cosmos in chaos – throws himself into the hunt for a killer who seems somehow connected to the Giant. With bodies piling up and tensions in Little Springs mounting, he realizes that in order to find the answers he needs, he must first reconcile his traditional sense of things with the town, and the world, he now lives in – before it’s too late.

Proslulý tajný agent 007 Iana Fleminga se vrací v komiksové adaptaci druhého románu ŽÍT A NECHAT ZEMŘÍT , který do komiksové podoby upravili VAN JENSEN a KEWBER a SCHIMERYS BAALOVI. James Bond je vyslán do New Yorku, aby prověřil pana Biga, údajného agenta SMĚRŠ a zločinného vůdce vúdú sekty. S pomocí svého kolegy ze CIA, Felixe Leitera, a bez sebemenších obav z nadpřirozené aury, která obklopuje jeho protivníka, sleduje Bond stopu od harlemských jazzových klubů, přes floridské mokřady až do Karibiku. Cestou si čím dál více uvědomuje, že tenhle padouch představuje velkou hrozbu. A nikdo, dokonce ani tajuplná kartářka Solitaire, si nemůže být jistý, jak tato bitva dvou neobyčejných mozků dopadne...
