Long Shot is a gen Professionals het and gen anthology.
It reprints some stories from Syndicated Images.
While the flyer below says that "Sink the Greenpeace" is in Syndicated Images, unless this is a different title, it is not that zine.
The classic 1980s Professionals gen-stories that ran in Syndicated Images 1985-'86! Featuring all the stories, all the art, in original format, with a new introduction and new cover...CADENZA by Adam Jenson ... The precise technical arrangement of a Beethoven score is the innocuous key to an international espionage thriller, when an old flame of Doyle's finds her life in danger from faceless assassins. A fascinating foray into the classics, through the sights of a rifle!
SINK THE GREENPEACE by Adam Jenson & Jack Heston ... In the days following the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand, the new flagship of the international ecological movement, the Greenpeace, seemed a likely target for right-wing terrorism. This is a high-seas adventure, when CI-5 is assigned to route out the foreign interests that would see the protest ship sunk in the midst of the whales she would protect. Rollicking stuff!
FREEFIRE by Peta Brock ... Terrorists from the Middle East lay seige to an Aer Lingus 707 on the apron at London Heathrow, their demands: release three political prisoners, or the innocent will be forfeit. CI-5 coordinates with the SAS to resolve the situation, but it's more personal than they could have imagined. The 1980s was the heyday of hijacking, and retaking the aircraft is a virtuoso performance by masters of their craft. But what price closure?
No age statement required, but be aware that this zine tackles adult concepts in an adult manner. Suggest PG-13. Hetero in orientation, these are 'mainstream' thrillers very much in the style of the screened series. [1]
