Justin and sebastian estes' debut novel
Ad Absurdum: Quandary of Power
Thank you so much for joining us on this adventure. We are so excited to share this world and these characters with you soon.
Can a gangster and a politician throw aside their differences and unite to defeat the corruption plaguing their organizations?
With cunning tactics, brutal force, and countless cocktails, just maybe they can.
In the wake of World War I, the League of Nations established a new world order, known as the Directorate, to prevent another worldwide conflict.
Decades later, the three Directorate Collectives are left in a state of stagnation that has given rise to vast underground organized crime syndicates in a constant struggle for power.
Everett Lance, a high-ranking officer in the Consortium, the American Collective’s largest gang, seeks vengeance against those who betrayed him.
Carrigan Temple is a junior member of the Directorate rising through the ranks in an effort to gain status and prestige as he wrestles with the ghosts of his past.
In a twist of fate, the two men form an unlikely alliance to leverage their positions and gain an edge over their enemies, Carrigan from above and Everett from below.
In the game of political and criminal subterfuge, there’s one rule: be the last one standing.
