8MEN author Marcus Smith returns to the world of his alt-history thriller in this compelling follow-up.
More than two decades after the war-profiteering 8MEN formed a shadowy pact to steer America into a noble future, the organization's leading hired gun, Richard Teed, and his partner, Danya Franck, have just pulled off their biggest job to date: assassinating FBI director and 8MEN member J. Edgar Hoover in his own home.
Hoover's death from what appear to be natural causes sends ripples through the United States government. As President Nixon and the FBI scramble to carry the late director's torch through the 1970s, the 8MEN must contend with the nation's changing landscape. In the midst of it all is CIA Director Wesley Carter - the de facto leader of the surviving 8MEN and the man who orchestrated Hoover's assassination - fighting to uphold his cabal's founding principles in the face of the sexual revolution, widespread substance abuse, and the war in Vietnam.
This coming storm of sociopolitical upheaval isn't unique to America, however. The 8MEN and their associates soon find themselves caught up in petty tugs-of-war across the globe. As Carter struggles to maintain his own sense of peace, Teed begins to question his loyalty to the group, and one thing becomes perfectly clear:
Someone is killing the 8MEN!
