The Avenger of Olympus

Featuring "Nemesis"

"High adventure mixing every cool paperback, comic, late night TV treasure, 1960s and 70s spy adventure, and the breakneck pace and scale of the great Republic serials." –Steve Latshaw.

Another Charles Lee Jackson Swashbuckling super heroine debuts in four terrific adventures – and you can bet it won’t be long before she gets caught up in The Emperor’s inner circle. When archæologist Elizabeth Owen discovers an ancient artifact that imbues her with the abilities of the Olympian gods, she finds that with those powers comes an awesome responsibility. For now she will be the protector of Mankind, the inheritor of mighty powers. She will be The Avenger of Olympus. Don't miss this wild and wooly feminist revision of the classic Captain Marvel origin story.

Trapped in a lost Greek temple, Betty Owen finds an artifact and scroll that promise great powers – powers she’ll need to save not just herself but her friends as well, members of an archæological expedition to eastern Turkey who have been captured by angry villagers. Only if Dr. Owen can decipher the ancient text will she be able to accept “A Gift from the Gods”.

Bound up by undiplomatic Red Tape in Ankara, Dr. Owen and her team-mates already have enough trouble when two of them are accused of passing counterfeit currency. And with Continent-Eight and the Diabolical Dr. Double X on hand, it’ll be more than hard to “Follow the Money”.

Back in the US on a lecture tour, Dr. Owen stumbles into a mystery – giant brutes are attacking local college students. Nemesis will have to look into this! But what she doesn’t know is that there is already a hero on the scene – Alison Carlsonn, training to be Shooting Star, is also investigating “Barton’s Bruisers”.

In Los Angeles angling for a new job, Betty Owen finds herself caught between fires when the evil Jade Dragon strikes again, this time commanding a super-powered Dr. Yalta. But then another Swashbuckler arrives, and Nemesis finds herself locked in battle with the blonde bombshell, even though the big fight is “Solara Versus Captain Yalta”.

Another thrilling entry from the Secret Files.
