Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Brent Cleever introduces Action 21 for its readers. He notes that they pay for the World Security Council but questions how much they really know about craft like Stingray and Fireball XL5 or organisations such as Spectrum and the Universal Secret Service, claiming the magazine will give them the chance to find out. Cleever then introduces himself, explaining he is being paid not to protect secrets but to expose them. He finishes by stating that readers can write to him with questions about things they don't see in Action 21 and about aspects of the magazine they do not like.
