X-Point on the South Pacific

A retired thief comes out of retirement to stop a scientist – who was his last victim – from deploying a bomb that will destroy all the air on Earth. The other tale is an anti-war parable set in World War III, about two bomber pilots who become friends after they duel with each other and both crash. Kodansha JP print version also includes the one-shot Sekai wo Horobosu Otoko, originally published at Adventure King in 1954.
