Every Day brings new proof that extremists are working to make the U.S. government a pawn in their quest for power. But where informed Americans see opportunism and political manipulation by the rich and powerful, Max August sees more: the cabal of nine that drives the entire enterprise from behind the scenes. They're the ones that Max is fighting every day of his immortal life. They are called the Necklace.

The Necklace was born centuries ago, long before America came to provide its best chance for world domination. Today, the men and women at the heart of the conspiracy control all the centers of power, including politics, military, media, finance...and Max's specialty, wizardry. The legendary alchemist Cornelius Agrippa fought them as long as he could, then passed the baton to Max, his chosen successor.

When Max learns that two members of the Necklace are on their way to Wickr, a Burning Man-like festival in the American Southwest, he and his girlfriend, Pam Blackwell, see a chance to strike their next blow for freedom. With the help of the charming Coyote and enigmatic Scorpio Rose, two of Max's mysterious friends, they set a "honey trap" of deceit and seduction. What they cannot know is that the Necklace is about to demonstrate that those who lust for world domination will stop at nothing. Absolutely nothing. And the Necklace is not even the worst thing Max will face in the desert night.
Industry Reviews

Praise for "The Long Man"

--Michael Chabon, "New York Times "bestselling author
"Steve Englehart was one of the first authors I ever read. With "The Long Man," he proves that even thirty years later, he still has the touch. I'm young again."
--Brad Meltzer, "New York"" Times "bestselling author
"Englehart, one of the best writers in comics, brings all his imagination and flair to this exciting tale of mystery, magic and suspense."
--Max Allan Collins, bestselling author of "Road To Perdition"
"Steve Englehart has finally continued the story of the Point Man, and it's about damned time. A crackling mystical thriller."
--Peter David, bestselling author of the "Dark Tower" comics
Praise for "The Point Man"
"""The writing is solid and compelling, evidencing all the skill of a craftsman who has spent the last decade learning how to build an episodic story in the "To Be Continued" environs of comic books, yet never giving in to cartoony excess. In "The Point Man," Englehart never lets the absence of pictures slow his story. It's a shame he hasn't written more prose since."
--Bookgasm.com
"I haven't read a novel like this since "The Exorcist.""
--Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of the "Illuminatus!" trilogy
"Full of reach and astonishment....Few working writers alive have [Steve Englehart's] sense of sound and of scene."
--Theodore Sturgeon, author of "More Than Human
""Englehart comes up out of nowhere, or the Bay area or some place, to explode on us with a first novel that places itself way up there with some of the finest in the genre. "The Point Man" is as exciting a slam-banger as you'll find this year. But it's much more than that. The magic isd
