Something is out there, and everything we know, everything we believe, everything we are – is doomed.
Their identities are a secret. Their mission does not exist. There is no one they can trust…not even the one man pulling the strings.
A trio of uniquely talented CIA operatives, their mission to explain the inexplicable to debunk the work of psychic tricksters, magicians and frauds whose calculated deceptions pose a serious threat to security and the national psyche. But the strange disappearance of an artist in New York , coupled with the discovery of elevn charred bodies in an Adirondack mountain lodge – corpses that forensic evidence indicates are centuries old – suggest to agents Laika Harris, Tony Luciano, and Joseph Stein that there is more to their assignment than they've been led to believe, that the truth they seek is rooted in a conspiracy that stretches back countless millennia and is centered around the release of the most powerful prisoner the world has ever known – a conspiracy that could shatter every belief about the origin of man…and God.
City of Iron The Searchers Book I eBook Chet Williamson
City of Iron is the first book in The Searchers trilogy by Chet Williamson and was originally released in 2000. It has all the earmarks of Chet's earlier horror fiction including paranormal phenomena, well developed characters, and a bizarre but intriguing plot.In City of Iron we are introduced to three covert C.I.A. agents who have been assigned to a unit with an unusual task. They are to investigate paranormal occurrences and objectively study them to see if they are real. If they are not real, they have to somehow expose the trickery without blowing their cover. If the paranormal occurrences can't be scientifically explained, they are to simply report back to their superior and take on a new assignment. Unfortunately for the unit, all their cases are in the United States which is against the C.I.A.'s charter, so the F.B.I. has taken an interest and has been trying to shadow them to discover what they are up to.
Their first cases involve the deaths of 11 men in a mountain lodge who may have been many hundreds of years old, and a physic who reads hidden messages. The physic case proves easy for them to debunk, but when investigating the ages of those men in the lodge, all the evidence proves that they were in fact that old. As it turns out, this case is the first link in a series of baffling paranormal occurrences they are assigned to investigate. And all of them are connected to a being who may be either Jesus Christ (or one of his relations) or the Anti-Christ.
Complicating their investigation is: a former lover of the leader of the unit who is looking for revenge; their boss who may not be telling them entire truth behind their work; and the being itself who has the mental power to influence others and at least one member of their unit.
As he has done so in the past, Williamson has blessed City of Iron with characters that are so well drawn that readers can't help but identify with them. Laika, a black woman and the leader of the unit, is portrayed as a woman who, while smart as hell and dangerous as any assassin you could imagine, is a victim of domestic violence from an abusing lover. Joseph is a fairly unassuming Jewish man who is the skeptic in the group, however his skepticism may be hiding the fact that he is searching for a deeper meaning in life. And Tony is a stereotypical Italian man who is an excellent `breaking and entering' expert who is just as skilled at killing, but his gruff exterior masks a man who is weary and lonely. These three main characters are a joy to follow as we see them in action and watch their camaraderie grow.
The plot unfolds in a deliberate but well paced manner and the actions scenes are exciting as they are entertaining. I won't spoil the next two books in this series, but I will say that if you loved City Of Iron as much as I did, the next two installments are going to blow you away.
