An insidious corporation believed it could get away with anything. Until it messed with the wrong guys.

One's a self-proclaimed celebrity superhero. The other's an undergraduate Oxford wunderkind, trained from birth to be an assassin. They don't have much to complain about-apart from being single. That's until Hellinix, a shadowy multinational corporation, targets them and turns their lives upside down.

After winning SPLICE, a reality TV gladiatorial contest amongst genetically enhanced former soldiers, Arthur Fortune thought he was on the fast-path to the A-list. But when he is tapped for a job with a US senator who's running for president, Hellinix comes gunning for his family.

Life for Elliot Goshawk was heading for a solid grade of tedium. An undergraduate Oxford wunderkind with a short fuse but a good heart, he had his sights set on a lucrative lab position and had (nearly) worked up the nerve to stop being single. But when Hellinix takes away his most prized possession-an ancient piece of alien hardware-and then kidnaps his best friend, it's time to unsheath the family sword and get them back.

But for Arthur and Elliot, getting to the bottom of exactly who is after them turns out to be the least of their concerns, as they uncover a plot deeper and darker than they imagined. They'll have to find a way to work together to save the world-if they don't kill each other first.

Hardly the heroes the world needed, just the only ones available.

If you are a fan of The Boys, Watchmen and Stranger Things, you will love this action-packed serialized science fiction superhero thriller.
