More about this book

The Story

Global Frequency follows a secretive international rescue organization made up of 1,001 specialists scattered around the world. When an unusual crisis threatens lives on a local or global scale, the network is activated through fast communications and a few central coordinators.

Each issue centers on a different emergency and a different mix of agents, ranging from scientists and hackers to soldiers, police, and other experts. The threats vary widely: technological disasters, extremist plots, strange biological events, and other dangerous anomalies.

The book is structured as a set of mostly self-contained missions, with recurring figures anchoring the series while the supporting cast changes from story to story. The emphasis is on rapid response, specialized problem-solving, and the tension between ordinary people and extraordinary threats.
