Marvel Novels - Captain America: Dark Designs

Age range 9+

Captain America has battled soldiers, terrorists and villains of all kinds. Now he'll face a far more complicated enemy: his own body.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. discovers that Cap is harbouring an extinction-level pathogen hidden in his cells for decades, Cap's greatest fear is realised: Until the virus can be cured, he'll have to go into deep freeze. But he won't be alone.

Years ago, Cap's greatest enemy managed the biggest coup of his career when he implanted his mind into a clone of Steve Rogers' body - virus and all. And Red Skull isn't the sacrificial type. Cap will have to put his archnemesis on ice - without exposing the virus.

Can Cap stay alive along enough to capture Red Skull and return to his deepest nightmare? It's a battle for perfect symmetry in this original prose novel!

The tenth title in Titan Books' Marvel fiction reissue program, featuring the Captain America story, Captain America: Dark Designs.Steve Rogers knows the art of survival better than most. Decades under ice will do that to a man. But the Avengers chipped more than rock-hard morality and super strength out from under that permafrost. When Cap takes out a terrorist cell threatening to poison the world, he'll discover a threat far more deadly. An incurable virus has hidden in his body for years - and now it's come to the surface. To save the world, he'll have to return to his own personal hell: deep freeze. And he'll have to take an old friend with him. Having survived his own death by inhabiting a clone of Steve Rogers, the Red Skull has inherited the virus - and he's a little less willing to play martyr. As the deadly disease shifts and evolves, new patterns emerge. Can Captain America contain the Red Skull before the virus runs rampant?
