The third Red Panda adventure novel, now finally available in audiobook format through Decoder Ring Theatre.
A city beset by the darkness and desperation of the Depression balances upon a knife edge, ready to plunge into chaos and despair. The forces of darkness have been held thus far at bay by a pair of red gauntleted fists, but on how many fronts can Toronto's masked champion fight at one time? An unseen manipulator is pulling the city's surviving businesses to the brink of collapse for his own fiendish purposes just as an old foe returns to unleash his bitter fury upon innocent lives. Who will survive the power of... The Android Assassins?

| 0:00.0 | Chapter 18. The taxi cab roared through the streets at speeds no paying fare could ever expect |
| 0:06.8 | to travel. Andy Parker gripped the wheel with white knuckles and pressed his foot even harder |
| 0:11.9 | on the accelerator as he wove around the evening traffic on Bloor Street. In the seat next to him, |
| 0:17.7 | Mack Tully sat relaxed with his foot up on the dashboard. |
| 0:25.8 | Mack had been in enough scrapes now that he never seemed to get too excited until he absolutely had to, |
| 0:29.6 | but Parker still thought he was probably showing off for the new guys in the back. |
| 0:35.9 | Next to the oversized form of Tank Brody was a scared-looking kid named Anthony that Parker hadn't worked with before. |

| 0:48.3 | He had chosen this gangly youth only because the flying squirrel had signaled him to do so behind everyone else's back, but Parker wasn't at all sure he hadn't misinterpreted the signs. |
| 0:54.0 | The kid seemed like a paper boy who'd taken a wrong turn. |

| 1:11.6 | Now the word came that a legion of mechanical men were marching up Young Street straight through downtown, |
| 1:16.6 | destroying everything they encountered. Parker couldn't escape the feeling that their foe had stepped up his attacks, |
| 1:22.6 | and they might not be prepared for what lay ahead. Within the warehouse, the assembly of agents |
| 1:28.8 | had seemed like enough to handle anything, but now they were spread out over the entire city. |
| 1:34.4 | Parker's unit was roaring east, passing bay, and only moments from the fight, but when they |
| 1:39.1 | arrived, they might very well be the first on the scene. Mac, hit the beacon, would you? Parker said. Tully leaned forward and |
