They called them heroes. They were worshipping their executioners.
When private investigator Skip Gibson takes on the murder case of a fallen hero in 1960s Empire City, he expects corruption and lies. What he finds instead is a conspiracy that reaches beyond human comprehension. The city's celebrated protectors, known as The Eternal, aren't heroes at all but dangerous gods wearing human skin, and someone has started hunting them down one by one.
As Skip digs deeper into the shadows of Empire City, he uncovers decades of deception involving Nazi experiments, plague-inducing technology, and transformations that turn ordinary people into living weapons. A vigilante claims she's saving humanity by executing the gods, but every answer Skip finds only breeds more questions. In a world where heroes are monsters and salvation might come from assassins, trust becomes the deadliest currency.
This dark superhero noir thriller deconstructs everything you thought you knew about capes and cowls, blending Cold War paranoia with body horror and moral ambiguity. This tale of corruption and impossible choices creates a paranoid tapestry where power always corrupts and heroism becomes indistinguishable from horror.
Can you survive when the gods decide humanity is disposable?
