But as this naive teenage assassin stalks his prey, he'll soon find that both hunter and hunted are just pawns in a centuries-old conspiracy that stretches from the catacombs beneath Wall Street to the heights of the Himalayas.

Within the secret archives of the Vatican, The Spirituali shelter a secret that could crack history in half. And - in a bar somewhere - Archer & Armstrong are all that stands between the ancient conspiracy that binds these two groups together. But can Archer survive a terrible betrayal from his own family - and the shocking revelation of Armstrong's closest ally?

Obadiah Archer was born and raised to cherish three things above all else: the faith of his parents, the love of his 22 brothers and sisters, and his lifelong mission to defeat the ultimate evildoer. Now, after years of training, Archer has been dispatched to the heart of America's festering modern day Babylon, aka New York City, to root out and kill this infamous Great Satan. Unfortunately, dying has never been easy for Archer's target - the hard-drinking, 10,000-year-old immortal known as Armstrong.

Our heroes' newfound friendship will face its greatest test as they battle The Sisters of Perpetual Darkness - the Nunjas ("ninja" + "nun") who guard Rome's blasphemous secrets. Obadiah Archer thought he had been betrayed by his family before, but nothing can prepare him for this!

Fred Van Lente's brilliant debut is both an homage to the Golden Age of Mystery and a thoroughly contemporary show-business satire.

Now, Kalea, the girl who found him, has a target on her back just for trying to help him. To save himself and his friends, Bloodshot must stay alive long enough to unravel the mystery of his own identity.

The year is 1861, the eve of Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration.

The two women’s mission to save the president takes them from the granges of rural Maryland to the heart of secessionist high society, and sets them on a collision course that could alter the course of history.
