Cable, Vol. 1: The Shining Path

A soldier from the future has arrived to save the present from itself. He's an anti-terrorist battling to spread his beliefs and change the world -- by any means necessary. This is the first volume in his new adventures, and is a perfect story for the readers who are flocking to the more mature graphic novels produced by current X-Men writer Grant Morrison.Our story picks up with Cable in Lima, on the trail of international mystery-man Rueben Goldberg. He becomes embroiled in a conflict with the terrorist group known as El Sendero Luminosa, the Shining Path, who are attempting to topple the fragile government of Peru. For reasons of his own, he confronts the communist pretenders and systematically takes them apart, but not before he encounters sexy women, aged scholars and super-powered soldiers committed to their rebellious cause.

Complicating matters, Cable must deal with an unexpected flare-up of the techno-organic virus that has haunted him since childhood. Inexplicably, this unstoppable soldier from the future finds himself helpless in the killing field, a victim of his own infirmity. Will he conquer the virus in time to survive? And what will be left of Peru once he escapes?
