Agent J seems to be everywhere and at every point in time. And who really is Natasha? A series of seemingly unconnected clues, that are found in what appear to be disjointed cliff-hanger vignettes, lead you deeper in a world where science, religion, peculiarities, absurd humor, historical twists, and conundrums collide and blend into a strange porridge. This collection of short, noir detective-ish stories builds the foundation of the Agent J universe. As author JT Dwyer puts it, "You are holding in your hands what may be the most extraordinary and unorthodox book I have ever encountered."

The roots of the Agent J universe were established in the first book, The Shadows of Agent J in what seemed to be a confusing, clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous vignettes (tiny storyettes). That anthology was in fact, a collection of puzzle pieces that will appear in future Agent J books . . . including this one. Ultimately, this will lead to an explanation of the stratospheric Holy Sequence and the Holy Darkness that is metastasizing, bringing chaos to mankind.
