Publisher’s description

Look out! Here come the High Evolutionary's Eliminators! They're under orders to destroy all the drug fields in South America - and they've got more than enough power to do it! You'd think the Punisher would be overjoyed! But these "allies" could be more dangerous than even his greatest enemy! The Punisher must decide - should he join them, or try to stop them! Plus: More secrets of the High Evolutionary are revealed!
