They were known simply as the Nine. Grim and ancient rulers who discovered the key to eternal life thirty-thousand years ago, and ever since have held the world secretly in thrall. These dark manipulators control the destinies of billions, including the formidable Doc Caliban and Lord Grandrith. These two, candidates for the Nine and half-brothers who had shared in the secret of immortality, have turned against their undying masters, daring to challenge their centuries-old supremacy.
And now one other candidate has joined the revolt.
Vigilante Langston Dupont, trained killer of Asian descent, a shadowy martial arts master raised in a hidden Tibetan lamasery, is armed only with his skills and blazing twin .45s. Taking his campaign against criminal mastermind Seiko Midori to the bloody streets of L.A. and New York, will he have what it takes in the final battle with his former lover?
Featuring cover and interior art by Keith Howell!
