Cold War superspy Evan Tanner lost the ability to sleep on a battlefield in Korea. So where the heck has he been since the 70s? Frozen. Cryogenically. A Tanner-sicle. Which he never thought would happen when he walked into a basement in Union City， New Jersey， more than a quarter century ago. Now he s unthawed and ready to rumble， and his somewhat addled， former super-secret boss， "the Chief，" is glad his favorite operative s active again. Tanner awoke to a different world， though some bad things have remained the same . . . or gotten worse. Even before he can fully acclimate himself to this perplexing future， Tanner s off to Burma (which isn t really Burma anymore) to pose as a monk， destabilize the government， dodge a lethal double-cross， and rescue a beautiful prisoner. The world s still full of conspiracy， corruption， greed， political chicanery—and beautiful women. So Tanner s back with a vengeance， with a lot of lost time to make up for.
