Summary
It’s a brave new Britain under the New Management.
The avuncular Prime Minister is an ancient eldritch god of
unimaginable power. Crime is plummeting as almost every
offense is punishable by death. And everywhere you look,
there are people with strange powers, some of which they can
control, and some, not so much. Hyperorganized and formidable, Eve Starkey defeated her
boss, the louche magical adept and billionaire Rupert de
Montfort Bigge, in a supernatural duel to the death. Now
she’s in charge of the Bigge Corporation — just
in time to discover the lethal trap Rupert set for her long
ago. Wendy Deere’s transhuman abilities have gotten her
through many a scrape. Now she’s gainfully employed
investigating unauthorized supernatural shenanigans. She
swore to herself she wouldn’t again get entangled with
Eve Starkey’s bohemian brother Imp and his crew of
transhuman misfits. Yeah, right. Mary Macandless has powers of her own. Right now
she’s pretending to be a nanny in order to kidnap the
children of a pair of famous, Government-authorized
superheroes. These children have powers of their own, and
Mary Macandless is in way over her head.Amanda Sullivan is
the HR manager of a minor grocery chain, much oppressed by
her glossy blonde boss — who is cooking up an
appalling, extralegal scheme literally involving human
flesh. All of these stories will come together, with
world-bending results...
