Although now free from captivity, McCann is not yet free from the IRA. He no longer wants anything to do with the organization, but they wont let him loose until he fulfills one final mission.

This is his last chance at freedom, a clean slate, and redemption.
Bill Warren's Keep Watching the Skies! was originally published in two volumes, in 1982 and 1986. It was then greatly expanded in what we called the 21st Century Edition, with new entries on several films and revisions and expansions of the commentary on every film.
