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?

| 0:08.1 | burning mechanical men. Agents were crowded behind every bit of available cover, but the high wire |
| 0:13.7 | fence behind them was making further retreat difficult, at least without exposing oneself to the |
| 0:18.2 | withering crossfire their enemies had been generating. |
| 0:25.3 | A piercing tongue of flames shot forth through the mouth of the alleyway one last time, |

| 0:46.3 | "'or if it ever will again. Bought us some time, though.' |
| 0:51.6 | "'All right,' she called. See if you can use it. Get your team over that fence before those monsters regroup. |
| 0:54.9 | "'We can't just cut and run. We're sitting ducks here, |

| 1:19.5 | The gizmos and ray guns were the team's most effective tools, but they were deeply unreliable, and often deserted them just when they were needed the most. |
| 1:27.8 | The flying squirrel did not know for certain how many of her men were wounded or if any had been |
| 1:31.6 | killed, but she knew she only had twelve left in play, and every single one of them was |
