Black Bat appearance in Captain Action sequel (revisited)

The Black Bat's guest-appearance in a Captain Action book was mentioned here before, but we now have a cover and some story details.

Oh, and it's available from Amazon!

The following is from the Airship 27 blog:
While on assignment in Japan, Captain Action is haunted by the woman he loved and lost years ago in the underground kingdom beneath Siberia.  When she mysteriously begins reappearing during his clandestine mission to witness a newly discovered power source, agent Miles Drake begins to question his own sanity. 
Forces are at work to steal two naturally formed energy stones whose limitless power in the wrong hands could destroy the world. When he begins to suspect his alien nemesis, Dr. Evil, is behind these attacks, Drake has to utilize his most daring disguises ever to learn the truth and ally himself with an old vigilante hero from the past
Now the one and only Captain Action must walk a delicate tightrope between old and new allies while attempting to discover the source of the threat to the Hearts of the Rising Sun.  If he fails, mankind is doomed!

I wondered about the degree to which The Black Bat would be involved, but if the cover is any indication, he'll play a significant part.  I can't claim to be a huge fan of Captain Action, but there's little doubt that this book will find its way into my little Bat pile.
