It was a horrible, false New Dawn breaking over the world-heralding the most powerful and ruthless autocracy known to man. America, like England and France, was under the heel of a dictator who had set out to make himself emperor of the earth! To fight this evil force, Operator 5 and his volunteer aides crossed the sea to Europe-waging a fierce, relentless undercover war!

In the hot streets of Old Mexico, Operator 5 launched his great counter-espionage campaign-against a plotting Asiatic horde which threatened to loose the entire barbarous Mexican guerrilla Southwest upon America, in an attack that also combined modern Japanese mechanized warfare and dread tropical disease! Then, in the final, decisive minutes, America seemed to turn back the very pages of history as she made her last stand for freedom at the Alamo!

Across ravaged America, exhausted from the long Purple Wars, Operator 5 and his gallant caravan trekked on their errand of mercy, step by step rebuilding once more a mighty nation out of a hopeless ruin-battling to the death a lawless horde that had been released by a Dictator of Doom who planned to transform the prostrate country into a vassal-state that never again was to know liberty!

Against the Mongol hordes on land, and the Purple Fleet, loosing its annihilating bombardment from the sea-New York had fought through the bitter, exhausting siege. Victory, at last, was within the grasp of Operator 5 and his fighting American patriots. Then, from out of the Emperor's devil cauldron, rose the scourge of the Black Plague!

The desperate defenders of America went over the top against the vandal hordes of the Purple Emperor at the Continental Divide-only to find that the murder-maniac tyrant had protected his trenches with a living wall of America's youth hung upon crosses! It was then that Operator 5 had to find the way to strike at the enemy-and also rescue, from a blood-mad jaguar's cage, the girl who guarded a nation's secret!

The goose-stepping armies of the Purple Emperor massed in the passes of the Continental Divide, ready to swoop down upon the last defenders of American soil and drive them relentlessly westward into the sea. Grimly the besieged force, without guns or supplies, waited the attack they could not hope to hold off. Then Operator 5 played his last card-a daring dash into the Occupied Territory, where his life was worth a province to the man who could deliver him into the eager hands of a torture-mad emperor!

Over the Rockies and down the Pacific slope the Purple Emperor's great war machine rolled on, to crush the last vestige of American resistance. Operator 5, seeing his cause already lost, decided upon the incredibly daring, typically American action-of a counter attack! Read here of his mad, secret sortie through enemy territory-across two thousand miles of hell to the guns and ammunition which alone could stave off defeat.

The defense forces of the United States have been crushed by the powerful war machine of Emperor Rudolph, Warlord of the World... From the Atlantic to the Mississippi the brutal conqueror is subjecting millions to his merciless, bloody reign of terror-and his ruthless gray-clad hordes are steadily sweeping westward, leaving a vast path of death and destruction in their wake... Faced with the surrender of America's army, only Jimmy Christopher-known to the Intelligence Service as Operator 5-and a pitiful handful of desperate men stand between the Mad Emperor and his bloody conquest of the nation...

Invaders from the Central Empire held all New England and most of the Eastern Seaboard. The Purple Emperor, bloodthirsty and heartless, was subjecting millions of Americans to an endless reign of terror. Threat of the horrible Green Gas had driven our defenders to the Mississippi. The President had fled to a ramshackle courthouse in Florida. Despair filled every heart. Operator 5, leading a desperate guerilla band within the enemy lines, is America's only hope. This long novel, dramatized from Jimmy Christopher's own personal history of the invasion, presents a startling, thrilling picture of the Second War of Independence!
