"If John le Carre wrote a superhero novel about the Cold War, it
might be this good." --Charles Stross
"A torrid tour de force." --James Ellroy
"Like Watchmen on crack."--io9
A bold experiment has mutated a small fraction of humanity. Nations race
to harness the gifted, putting them to increasingly dark ends. At the
dawn of global war, flashy American superheroes square off against
sinister Germans and dissolute Russians. Increasingly depraved
scientists conduct despicable research in the name of victory
British agents Fogg and Oblivion, recalled to the Retirement Bureau,
have kept a treacherous secret for over forty years. But all heroes must
choose when to join the fray, and to whom their allegiance is owed--even
for just one perfect summer's day.
