a worldwide telecommunications spider web from Nova Scotia to Tasmania.
You’ll never know when you’ll get the call, but when you do you
have 30 minutes to save the world. Global Frequency — the last, best
line of defense that you have never heard of. And if you’re lucky,
you never will. GLOBAL FREQUENCY: PLANET ABLAZE tells tales of a number
of Zero’s associates, including Aleph, a sexy cyber whiz-kid who serves
as the eyes and ears of Global Frequency. Then there's the 16-year-old South
African computer genius, the former Soviet experimental weapons expert,
the Australian cop and the ace marksman. These and 996 others make up the
most diverse team of specialists the planet has ever seen. Their job? To
save the world.] Book of the Week 1/14/04

Detonation Radio (7-12; a Lee Bermejo, Simon Bisley, Tomm Coker, Gene
Ha, Jason Pearson, Chris Sprouse, Karl Story) [From DC
Comics: From the streets of Los Angeles to the sewers below New York
City, Global Frequency is always watching. There are 1,001 people on the
Frequency — from 16-year-old computer experts to retired police detectives

mission is coordinated at GF central by Aleph, who dispatches the appropriate
agents at the behest of Miranda Zero, founder and overseer of the Frequency.
