The Special Warfare Operations and Reconnaissance Division is the United Orion Empire’s darkest secret. From its headquarters in a starless corner of space, SWORD trains and deploys wraiths, the most advanced and lethal special operatives in the Empire, to carry out orders too dangerous or too difficult for anyone else.
As the name implies, wraiths are ghosts in the Empire: recruited as children, erased from public records, and rechristened with code names, Agent Hailey Ramirez is Comet, the seventy-fourth wraith ever created. With cranial implants, enhanced body parts, and years of intense training, the girl who was Hailey is no more. Hailey’s Comet now, and Comet’s a super-human.
In Volume 2 of Comet’s story, she faces a variety of missions that test her abilities and force her to tackle suppressed memories of her stolen childhood and wonder where she might’ve ended up had Mango never recruited her into SWORD. Yet, could’ves and should’ves and might’ves don’t really matter. What she needs to confront is how to make unexpected revelations fit into her wraith paradigm.
