SynopsisInspired by the classic 1960s TV series, the Wild, Wild West, an original novel featuring fresh characters in updated settings in the year 1886, during the Reconstruction Era under President Grover Cleveland, the action-adventure criss-crossing the country with a climactic conclusion taking place at the dedication ceremony for the Statue of Liberty, Inspired by the classic 1960s TV series, the Wild, Wild West, Night of the Nobility Cult: A Wild, Wild Western is a faithful and reverent send-up, yet creatively a completely original story pilot with fresh characters set in an updated time period, populated by actual persons and events in history: the year's 1886, during America's Reconstruction Era, under President Grover Cleveland. With the violent labor unrest of the notorious Haymarket Affair in Chicago, Illinois as the backdrop, a labor-friendly Congressman is murdered by a strange, skull-faced assassin. The only lead to the killer is an invitation to an initiation ceremony for a sinister secret society called the Order of the Skulls, also known as the Brotherhood of Death. United States Secret Service agent, Ernest Jordan, recruits to the service a Pinkerton detective, James T. Justice, to investigate the initiation site based at the Melrose Castle in Virginia. Change-through-Chaos is the society's stated threat to the nation. After escaping incineration in a crematory, the new partnership team of Justice and Jordan are sent on a cross-country trek to witness three demonstrations of the society's power to create conflict and chaos in a bid to shadow the government, not by overt takeover, but through outright extortion, manipulation, domination, and control: first to a lighthouse to witness an artificially triggered tidal wave in Texas; next to an artificially triggered earthquake in South Carolina; and, finally, to an undisclosed demonstration in New York City. On their way, the agents encounter President Cleveland, and his lovely young wife, Frances Clara Folsom; the Red-Shirt Riders of South Carolina; a beautiful young suffragist named Kitty; and an assortment of other mysterious and menacing characters. Their expedition ends with a climactic confrontation at the dedication ceremony for the Statue of Liberty! For this new government agent duo--as well as for the reader--it's a spectacular, unforgettable, and completely surprising first mission worthy of its original inspiration.
