Herculean

In this spinoff from the Chess Team/ Jack Sigler series, we see George Pierce - best friend of Jack Sigler aka King - begin working outright with the Herculean Society, taking over from where the Chess Team left that group. In this first adventure, Pierce and his allies - several characters introduced in the Chess Team series, even if it has been a few missions since they were mentioned - begin encountering strange chimeras. As they investigate, they encounter the Cerberus Group as both organizations race for the birthplace of all monsters. Cerberus to unleash untold destruction, Herculean Society to stop them.

Yet another fast paced, surprising entry from the true master of the genre, you won't be able to put this one down - yet you don't have to read anything that came before it to understand and enjoy all that is happening here.
