"Matt Drabble is a name that will one day be as widely recognized as Stephen King & Dean Koontz" - READERS FAVORITEFrom the Award Winning & Best Selling author of "Gated", "Asylum" & "Abra-Cadaver" comes a unique Horror/Thriller/Murder Mystery based within a dark super hero universe.He fell from the stars and changed the world. Suddenly there existed a super being much like those that only existed on the pages of comic books, but not everyone took to the newcomer nor what he represented and some would seek to destroy what they perceived as a blasphemer. SOUL were an organisation created by a Cynthia Arrow, a religious zealot overwhelmed with the desire to deal in terror and rid the country of their greatest hero by any means necessary. Driven by her beliefs and not bound by man's law no method was discarded and so the war began.Part hero and part government propaganda Cosmic Jones was soon joined by humans enhanced by his superior technology to fight by his side. Named The Queen's Guard, Dr Quantum, Bull, Crimson and Six-Shooter became symbols for the people in the war against terror, but these were no ordinary recruits despite their carefully constructed public personas. With the Prime Minister seeing an opportunity to cement her power new laws were quickly enacted and the country was placed on a war foothold as a wave of nationalism swept through the land.The events at Havencrest represented the bloodiest & costliest battle of the war and finally brought an end to the violence but at what cost? Celebrated as a resounding victory for good the government used the battle to prove their methods right but only those who were there would ever know the truth of what happened on that black day.It has been 30 years since the team disbanded. Jamie-Lyn Anderson had been the young reporter who'd stumbled across the alien's arrival. She'd formed a close friendship with him as he'd settled into his new surroundings. He'd taken her with him when The Queen's Guard had been formed and she'd worked the PR for the team under the government's direction. Now as an established face of TV news she is about to find her old life colliding with her new. The Queen's Guard may have long since gone their separate ways but a brutal murder on live TV is about to bring them all back together whether they like it or not. Scattered around the world they return to face the demons long thought buried as a new threat rises, one that might bury them all if they can't find the ability to work together one last time.Secrets and lies are exposed as the truth is ripped free from the grave shining a light on everything thought hidden with a dark conspiracy that may very well tear the entire country apart. A roller coaster of bloody violent action and murder is revealed as the mystery deepens and nothing and no one is quite what they seem.With great power comes certain death.
