The 6 Messiahs

First came the 7 . . . Now there are 6.

Arthur Conan Doyle is a celebrated author—due to the enormously popular exploits of the fictional detective he fashioned after his boldly eccentric sleuthing partner, Jack Sparks. Together, a decade earlier, they curtailed the apocalyptic triumph of a dread, otherworldly menace.

And now even more horrific game is afoot.

Certain doom awaits Doyle and his impetuous younger brother Innes on a book tour across America—as do six extraordinary personages, linked soley by dreams of a black tower and a river of blood. For each has a leading role to play in the ultimate drama of light versus darkness. And if they falter, humanity will be sacrificed to the greatest experiment in Evil since the beginning of time.
