Why this must be read:
This is a classic story from 1997 that merges two shows in such a fashion that it's a great read while staying true to the spirit of the originals. You don't have to be familiar with "Forever Knight" to follow the story as the intricate plot will hold your interest throughout the tale.
Solo and Kuryakin are tracing a shipment of goods when Nick pops up on their radar as a suspect. However, Nick realizes that it's actually someone else who is the guilty party so he joins forces with the agents. Unfortunately, he is handicapped by the necessity of concealing that he is a vampire.
Excerpt
"Well, at least we know who one of them is," Illya said philosophically as he tried to stretch in the cramped rental car. "Now if they would just stop leading us on the Cook's tour of the Midwest. I've seen enough soybean fields to last me at least a year."
"Is that what this green stuff is?" Solo asked, glancing at the endless gently rolling fields on either side of the highway. He grimaced as an aromatic, manure-scented breeze blew through the open car window.
"Yes, Napoleon, this green stuff is soybeans. The tall green stuff is corn. The spotted black and white things are cows."
"Thank you, Farmer Brown. Now, just tell me we're coming to a town with a population higher than fifty soon. Too much fresh air makes me nervous."
