Night streets, a prison yard, rain on the rooftops and a river camp in the jungle, all of it drawn by hand. Turn the sound up.
The Draft Zero file
Courier Mara Vale went dark three days ago, carrying a list of field agents who have been compromised. The cleanup crews are already burning her safehouse. Her notebook is the only thing left.
Follow the paper trail out of Port Meridian and across the world. Every page points higher, and every name on it is somebody who wants that notebook burned. At the end of the trail is a plan called Draft Zero.
Every operation opens on a page of the field notebook, read aloud as the handwriting fills in.

Every page is drawn by hand
The whole world is graphite hatching, and every operation is drawn on its own paper: a college-ruled notebook, an engineering graph pad, a water-stained field pad, a newsprint proof, a folded transit map. The guns are drawn in bold colored pencil, so they jump right off the page.
