With the COBRA's leader murdered, a deadly contest to establish the new leader catches the Joes unaware.

G.I. Joe goes underground - literally! They've been on the defensive for the last four months, and now they've got a plan to get out of the line of fire, regroup, and start painting Cobra with red, white, and blue butt-kicking! That is, if Cobra doesn't find them and kill them first ... and, now, as the Cobra Civil War comes to a close, a new Cobra Commander will take over and bring Cobra out of the shadows.

Collects eight stories featuring the special operations team known as G.I. Joe and their adventures battling the evil organization COBRA.

Cobra Commander has fallen, but there are nine candidates eager to take on the responsibilities and lead the Cobra organization.

The colony worlds Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the ground¾with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created the Cobras, a guerilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted, invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly. And the Moreau family were the most famous of the Cobra warriors. Long after victory over the Troft was achieved, the Cobras made common cause with their former adversaries against a new enemy. Their reward was three planets that would be a home for the Cobras, whose deadly powers made them too dangerous to feel at home on Earth. Now, years had passed and not everyone on the Cobra worlds thought that the Cobras were worth the high cost of providing their training and maintaining their existing built-in weaponry, let alone supporting research to improve the Cobra weapons, and possibly even put an end to the negative effects of that built-in weaponry, which caused Cobras to die much too young. Many who had never known interplanetary war were convinced that the Cobras were not needed at all. That was a grave miscalculation, because a new menace was approaching, one that even the formidable Cobra warriors might not be able to defeat . . .

"The Cobra Civil War is over but there's no risk of a peace outbreak. 'Cobra Command' begins as Krake, the new Cobra Commander, kicks off his reign with total war as he invades the sovereign nation of Nanzhao with all the military might under his power. While the JOEs have been hit hard Flint must still lead a team into the country to stop them."--Page 4 of cover.
