The year is 1942. The German war machine rolls across Europe, crushing everything in its path. America has only recently entered the war, and the price paid by its allies is already high. The war could drag on for years, could go either way...until the day a strange metallic craft crashes behind enemy lines, bringing with it secrets of world-shattering consequence. The Nazis are quick to capture the spacecraft and its unearthly occupants, anxious to make use of interstellar devices that could allow them to accomplish their goal of annihilating their enemies. Realizing what might happen should the Nazis master the alien technology and subjugate its owners, the Allies send in a suicide squad -- a group snidely referred to as "Logan's Losers" -- to rescue the aliens and their secrets...or destroy them before the enemy can. Logan's mission is complicated, however, when Russia learns of the aliens and sends its own agent into the heart of Occupied France. A rogue Russian warrior...a traitor among Logan's invasion force...aliens who may be friend or foe...all driven to a fortress controlled by an implacable enemy. Stan Lee's debut work resonates with the pulse-pounding plotting of the mind behind Sgt. Fury, and dozens of other heroes!

アメコミの巨星スタン・リーが散文で挑んだ本作は、第二次世界大戦という凄惨な史実に異星技術を接合した、極上の歴史改変小説です。単なるＳＦアクションの枠を超え、絶望的な戦況下で「人間が未知の力にどう向き合うか」という、リーが生涯描き続けた普遍的な倫理観が、冷徹な軍事ドラマの筆致を通じて見事に昇華されています。 極限下の部隊が織りなす人間模様は、英雄譚の裏側にある孤独と葛藤を浮き彫りにします。ナチス、連合国、ソ連の策謀が渦巻く中、異星人を鏡にして人間の尊厳と欲望の境界を鋭く突きつける本作は、まさに文字で綴られたマーベル精神の真髄と言えるでしょう。その魂を揺さぶる物語の圧倒的な熱量に、ぜひ身を委ねてください。
