The 51st State


The title has nothing to do with adding another state to the United States of America. Instead, it refers to a little blue pill called POS-51 that is 51 times stronger than cocaine, 51 times more hallucinogenic than acid, and 51 times more explosive than ecstasy. It is also made with legal ingredients. After nearly killing a US buyer, the chemist who developed the drug hops across the pond to England to set up another deal. Back in the US, however, dealer number 1 hires a female assassin to track him down and eliminate him...
