A secret alien war has raged on Earth for years and is about to culminate in an epic race. Phileas Fogg's epic global journey is not the product of a daft wager but, in fact, a covert mission to chase down the elusive Captain Nemo, who is none other than Professor Moriarty. About a hundred years ago, a group of mutant supermen began playing a major role in our affairs. In the Wold Newton universe, It was no accident characters such as Sherlock Holmes, Flash Gordon, Doc Savage, James Bond and Jack the Ripper are all mysteriously connected. Nor was it accidental that their biographers titillated their public with hints of their true natures while not daring to part the veil. Just what was it that restrained them from telling all?
