Five alien assassins from other universes are ordered to kill O’Malley and his group, and each alien has a unique ability to do the job.

The future of the world is at stake in this mystery and adventure featuring a twisting plot, steampunk time travel, steam men duels, crafty inventions, and monsters from other planets.
