Description
In the week leading up to a major campaign speech, the Secret Service
discovers that an extremist militia group is plotting to assassinate America's
second African American President. The best chance to advert this crisis is to
infiltrate the group using an ex-Special Forces war hero turned conservative
media pundit named Ted Akers. While Aker's politics make him a hero to the
right-wing fringe and no friend to the current Administration, he takes the
assignment. What follows is an adrenaline-fueled race against time to stop a
President from dying and a country from being ripped apart!
An original graphic novel by Mat Johnson (Incognegro, Dark
Rain) and Andrea Mutti(Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).
