A team of
superhuman covert operatives emerges from the ashes of World War II in a Cold War-era paranormal espionage thriller from acclaimed genre-bender
Michael J. Martinez.
It is a new world, stunned by the
horrors that linger in the aftermath of total war. The United States and Soviet Union are squaring off in a different kind of conflict, one
that’s fought in the shadows, where there are whispers of strange and
mysterious developments...
Normal people across the United
States have inexplicably gained paranormal abilities. A factory worker
can heal the sick and injured. A schoolteacher bends emotions to her
will. A car salesman alters matter with a simple touch. A former soldier speaks to the dying and gains their memories as they pass on.
They are the Variants, controlled by a secret government program called MAJESTIC-12 to open a new front in the Cold War.
From the deserts of Nevada to the palaces of Istanbul, the halls of power in Washington to the dark, oppressive streets of Prague, the Variants are
thrown into a deadly game of shifting alliances. Amidst the seedy
underbelly of nations, these once-ordinary Americans dropped in
extraordinary circumstances will struggle to come to terms with their
abilities as they fight to carve out a place for themselves in a world
that may ultimately turn against them.
And as the MAJESTIC-12 program will soon discover, there are others out there like them, some with far more malevolent goals...
