Author/s: Sylvia P. Flanagan
Issue: Nov 25, 2002
Sascha Petrosevitch is a widowed undercover agent posing as a tough, international car thief who has many friends on both sides of the law. Career criminal Nick Frazier has been like a brother to him. One night on a job, female FBI agent E.Z. Williams intercepts Sascha and Nick. Nick refuses to surrender and the Feds open fire. Sascha takes seven bullets for Nick--saving his life. Sascha's heart stops for 22 minutes--"half past dead" and he's almost pronounced dead before he is revived. To maintain his cover, Sascha is sentenced with Nick to the newly refurbished, high-tech prison Alcatraz. Meanwhile, legendary prisoner Lester is charged with robbing an armored vehicle and stealing $200 million worth of gold. And disgruntled prison bureaucrat-turned-criminal mastermind Donny has assembled a commando team to infiltrate Alcatraz. Nick and Sascha must stop the invaders before they murder the Supreme Court Justice who is present for the impending execution. Starring in this action-thriller are Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Ja Rule, Mo'Nique, Nia Peebles, Michael "Bear" Taliferro, Kurupt, Bruce Weitz, Claudia Christian, Matt Battaglia and many more.
