Plot summary
With the first UniSol program written off as a failure, its funding is cut. Otto Mazur, a security consultant, answers to a CIA director, and the gang of mercenaries he runs seizes a fresh batch of Universal Soldiers; fifty of them are meant for a wealthy buyer in Asia. Luc Deveraux is reunited with his parents, and reporter Veronica Roberts, his girlfriend, is with him. From Luc's mother, Veronica hears of Eric, an older brother said to have died in Vietnam when Luc was nine and never brought home, the loss behind Luc's own enlistment. A recall function then draws Luc toward the UniSols' base.
