"The Golden Gamble"
by Mary Fan In 1984, 18-year-old Olympic gymnast Valeria Volkova, eager to leave the clutches of the USSR and her domineering coach, is recruited by a mysterious international organization known as PRISM... "Pointe Blanke" by Mary Fan Fresh from training, Valeria Volkova—now known as "Agent Aureate"—heads back to her native Russia for her first official mission. "Full Twisting Volkova" by Mary Fan Frustrated by her lack of advancement at PRISM, rookie Agent Aureate, aka Valeria Volkova, defies her superiors and takes matters into her own hands during a high-stakes mission. Featured in... PRISM: THE MISSION FILES Edited by Hildy Silverman The meteor shower of 1908 brought the first shard of extraterrestrial technology to Earth. In 1972, the final Apollo mission brought the most recent one…and all the pieces began waking up.
Where did the shards come from? What do they do? And what happens if they are brought together and reassembled into something powerful from beyond the stars? No one knows, which is why PRISM—Program Responsible for Intelligently Saving Mankind—was formed, to locate and collect the shards before they can be used for nefarious purposes. Throughout the 1980s, PRISM agents scour the globe seeking these mysterious items, some of which demonstrate extraordinary capabilities, so they can be contained in a secure location. But they’re not the only ones hunting the alien tech. Other forces are just as determined to get their hands on these shards—at any cost.
