Volume 8 at Amazon Released January 10, 2007. ISBN 1401208770 , 192 pages Volume 8 has one story: Seven Days in September (part 1).

Seven Days in September (part 1) starts off with Klaus still in London. He is asked to pick up some important files from British Intelligence. Which he does - though they do lead him on a merry chase first ... Lawrence, looking up skirts, being forced to eat distasteful things, walk in the park with a beautiful woman. He does not seem at all amused ... "I hate women who come on to me." He does it though and is handed the Lubyanka report, a highly classified KGB report (Lubyanka is the site of KGB headquarters). Klaus hasn't sold The Man In Purple after all and will bring it back with him to Germany. Eroica learns of this. He breaks into Klaus's hotel room at the Ritz and actually does get his hands on the painting. Only, then he gets greedy and as he looks around, Klaus returns. To take a bath ... "I can steal the painting now. But, wait! I may never get a chance to spy the major having a bath again. Do I take the painting? Or, do I want to see the major in all his glory?" Put it this way: it's not an all that difficult decision ... Sadly, very little skin is shown ...

Klaus's plane takes of - and is hijacked ... Instead of Cologne-Bonn they're going to Oslo. Dorian learns of this and quickly follows. He doesn't seem to be all that worried about Klaus - it's the painting he wants. Ironically enough, the painting isn't even on the plane, as Klaus has sent it by a courier service. Oh well ... in Norway Dorian join forces with the Alphabet (with just a wee bit of blackmail). The hijackers demands are met - jailed terrorists are released and two million pounds are gathered. However, when Dorian learns that the hijackers will likely take several hostages with them as insurance until they reach their final destination (including the major - and the luggage), he decides to take action. Disguised as the first secretary of the British embassy he goes onboard the plane to deliver the ransom. Well abord the plane he puts the remaining passagers - excepting Klaus - to sleep. Klaus briefly manages to get control of the aircraft, but is then caught. As the pilots are both asleep, however, they have no choice but to let him keep steering. They want him to take the plane to a soviet air force base in Tallinn, in the republic of Estonia, but when they find out that he is flying the plane in the opposite direction, it is also revealed that they are actually out to get the Lubyanka report.

Poor Klaus - the first secretary of the British embassy is coming on to him ... "To be honest, German fellow like you turn me ... on." When they are forced to land at Charles De Gaulle in France to refuel Klaus executes a perfect Touch-and-go, using maxium thrust to throw the hijackers off balance and soon he and Dorian are in charge. Klaus now intends to try to take the plane to Zaragoza in Spain, only they crash land in the Aragon Region, next to a nunnery ... The landing might have gone better if Klaus hadn't been distracted by finding out exactly who was sitting next to him as they went down ... The nun takes them in, even if they are afraid of them. It's actually kind of cute how Klaus behaves with the nuns - and Dorian too, for that matter. And how the nuns admire Klaus's strength ... and his divine hips ...

Towards the end Klaus walks towards the nearest road - 30 miles ... Dorian, meanwhile, searches the entire plane and finally has to give up - the painting isn't there ... So he follows Klaus towards Zuela. And who is waiting in Zuela, if not Mischa the Bear Cub ...?
