Hidden in the remotest reaches of the Red Desert, in a place called Mystic Rock, legend tells of an elite fighting force of meerkats - the Clan of the Scorpion. Under the guidance of Grandmaster One-Eye, and armed with ninja-know-how, these warriors are sworn to protect the world from their enemy, the Ringmaster.

"A tiger is missing from the HongKong Zoo, but this no ordinary big cat, and she won't be found simply by sticking lost posters on lampposts. When the Meerkats find a clown-shaped clue in the poo at the zoo, it can only mean one thing, the ringmaster and his circus goons are in town!"--Page [4] of cover.
