Description The one-of-a-kind 'fantasy spy action' Code Name series — the most popular work yet from Kang Kyung-soo, winner of the Bologna Ragazzi Award! Mission 4: Rescue Violet, who has been kidnapped by the massive organization Cosmo! To save Violet from Cosmo's clutches, Code Name X Kang Parang and Code Name R join forces! At last, Cosmo's boss, the sinister Dr. EvilP, reveals himself — along with his followers, Dr. Pablo, Gazelle, Salvia, Balrog, and other new villains, setting the stage for an epic showdown! ▶ Piece by piece, the puzzle comes together — and long-hidden secrets are revealed! In Code Name R, many of the mysteries that have kept readers guessing are finally answered. From why the shadowy organization Cosmo kidnapped MSG Intelligence Agency's top agent Violet in the previous book, Code Name V, to the true identity of Parang's father — the twists are just as shocking as the reveal that Violet and Sirius K are siblings. It turns out Violet and Sirius K were once agents of Cosmo themselves, and that Parang's father is none other than Code Name R! Whether readers saw these twists coming or not, they won't be able to put the book down — some stunned with surprise, others thrilled to see their guesses confirmed. Either way, readers will be amazed all over again by the author's masterful storytelling, where every piece fits perfectly into the bigger picture. ▶ "You're not alone!" — The spies unite for an epic rescue! After watching his partner — and mother — Violet get kidnapped right before his eyes, Parang is consumed by guilt. It's Code Name R, who has always seemed to dislike and torment him, who proposes the mission to rescue Violet. Code Name I and trainee agent Lee Jeong-chan from Class A soon join them as well. Watching his companions step forward without hesitation to save a friend in danger, Parang feels the true meaning of camaraderie. Though he could do nothing alone, with his friends by his side, together they infiltrate Cosmo's base where Violet is being held, defeat the villains, and complete their mission. ▶ Charming characters you'll want to collect, one by one The Code Name series is filled with a wonderfully diverse and charming cast of characters — each one beloved by readers regardless of how much page time they get, even the villains. Author Kang Kyung-soo's talent for crafting unforgettable characters shines through once again in Code Name R. From the adorable penguin-shaped Doctor who leads Cosmo as its ultimate boss, to Dr. Pablo — who speaks the Doctor's thoughts aloud — Gazelle, Salvia, Balrog, and Cosmo's training instructor Master, each character is given not just a distinct personality but their own story. No character is wasted; they return in later volumes to add extra layers of fun. This is the true driving force behind the Code Name series' popularity — characters so charming you'll want a figure of every single one. ▶ A great love blossoms between secret missions and thrilling action True to its 'fantasy spy action' genre, Code Name R delivers heart-pounding action and fight scenes that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. But what has earned the Code Name series such devoted fans, young and old alike, is the deep emotion woven throughout. Within the harsh journey of an ordinary boy growing into a spy lies a universal and profound truth: love. Kang Parang's determination to save his mother, R's devotion to the person he admires and loves, and Master's fierce protectiveness over Violet — who, though not his biological daughter, is just as precious to him — all come together in a story of great love, one that moved even the author to tears (he says he shed about 1.5 liters of them while writing it!). ▶ There's still more story to come! While Code Name R reveals many long-held secrets, there are still mysteries waiting to be uncovered in the Code Name series. The true identities of the black cat Kongi, who secretly helps the main characters, and the mysterious girl remain unknown, and Parang still hasn't found his way back to the present. At a book talk, the author hinted that the Code Name series...
