"They call it the Perdition Pistol, but it's far beyond anything as simple as a gun the power contained in this mysterious artifact could put the entire world at the mercy of whoever controls it. Thats why the espionage organization known as Spyral hid it beneath as much high-tech security as it could muster and why someone else just stole it from them. Now only one man can get it back: the human wrecking ball known as the Midnighter."--Amazon.com.
