In therapy, Tara is jittery and untrustworthy of the doctor. It is here Rucka plays with the psychological aspects of the profession. After the assassination, she is put into therapy. Tara is a headstrong and sarcastic (if a bit in-over-her-head) agent. However, more important than the operations is Tara herself, and it’s this focus on character that makes Queen & Country so special. She gets the job done, but in response, the Russian mob puts a bounty on her head. For example, the first story Operation: Broken Ground has Tara in Kosovo on an assassination mission trying to take down a former Russian General turned mob enforcer.
and the book is broken into sections that follow separate operations undertaken by the organization.
Queen & Country follows SIS agent Tara Chace, designate Minder Two. Writer Greg Rucka, a 25-plus years veteran of the industry, wrote Queen & Country from 2001 to 2007 for Oni Press.
