Agents of S.U.I.T.
John Patrick Green
At S.U.I.T. headquarters, Cilantro the Chameleon finally gets what she’s been waiting for: a field assignment. Only…it’s literally out in the middle of a field, and her orders are so vague, she can hardly tell what she’s supposed to be investigating.
But as she begins to uncover a sheep-led worker’s rights revolt and an alien invasion conspiracy―not to mention a spooky haunting at the abandoned S.U.I.T. field outpost―Cilantro steps into her own V.E.S.T. as a valued member of the S.U.I.T. team.
From InvestiGators mastermind John Patrick Green, the world of S.U.I.T. has never been more fun!
