Content[]

Intro (page 2)[]

"The Thievius Raccoonus, a compendium of thieving knowledge compiled by the Cooper Clan over many generations, was stolen by the "Fiendish Five" on the very night that eight year old Sly Cooper was supposed to inherit the book. They overpowered Sly's family, leaving him an orphan, and scattered to the ends of the earth with pages from the book.

When he was old enough, Sly Cooper, together with his best friends Bentley and Murray, tracked down the Fiendish Five - Raleigh, Muggshot, Mz. Ruby, Panda King, and their leader, Clockwerk - and recovered all of the pages from the Thievius Raccoonus. He learned that Clockwerk was an immortal mechanical bird with a long standing grudge against the Cooper clan. After a grueling battle, Sly left the evil bird in pieces. He thought he had seen the last of Clockwerk... but he was wrong!

A museum in Egypt managed to get their hands on the Clockwerk Parts, intending to place them on display. Knowing their potential for harm, Sly Cooper heads to Cairo to retrieve the pieces before thy fall into the wrong hands... but will he be too late?"
