But in the shadows of Mexico City, Colin King is about to discover something far more deadly… The Ninja Programme's own former sensei, the Jonin, has assembled a conspiratorial circle of enigmatic enemies – the Dying One, Kostiy the Deathless, Linton March, and The United's Ultimo – for a purpose so sinister that even Ninjak can't risk engaging them alone. Enter Livewire, Punk Mambo, Dr. Mirage, and GIN-GR – Ninjak's brand-new black ops team with a very specific set of skills…and a license to kill the unkillable!
