Years ago I read the first volume of this story - "Who is Jake Ellis". Story of a rogue spy getting chased around by various undercover teams was very tense. And it had a rather curious twist - our protagonist, spy Jon Moore, always had an invisible helper, Jake Ellis, man with whom Jon had a very strong telepathic connection. That volume ended on a high note - Jon, man on a run, trying to remember himself finally finds the mysterious Jake but he is still unable to connect the dots about his own past.

Second story arc starts with Jon, after years living as a ghost, getting suddenly targeted by hit squad that has unnatural ability to predict his very movements. Barely escaping the assassins Jon will get surprise of his life when his link to Jake gets re-established.

What follows is a chase, Jon trying to save Jake, Jake trying to save Jon and mysterious Evergreen company trying to capture them both. While story ends with some of the elements explained, role and details on the mysterious corporation that seems to be able to command state level assets from almost every government in the world remains unknown. They are shown as ghosts, unforgiving research corporation that is not above killing their own people to keep everything hush hush.

Interesting story, builds on the volume #1 but for all means and purposes I get the feeling volume 3 was planned when this one was written. If there is no vol 3 on the horizon, ending is still very good (very much like ending of 1980s conspiracy movies) - nothing ever finishes, as unknown man repeats to himself at the very end.

Art is consistent and I like it. It is very much Archie and Belgian school-like.

Recommended to all fans of thrillers but be warned that it does leave slightly bitter taste, like its missing the proper conclusion. ( )
