About this ebook
From the Patriots' raid on the necromancer Joseph Curwen to the Special Forces' assault on Leng in 2007, this unique document reveals the secret and terrible struggle between the United States and the supernatural forces of Cthulhu. In this war, immortal cultists worship other-dimensional entities and plot to raise an army of the dead. Incomprehensible undersea intelligences infiltrate and colonize American seaports, and alien races lurk beneath the ice of Antarctica and high in the mountains of Afghanistan. It is only through constant vigilance and violence that the earth has survived. Also included are threat reports describing the indescribable – humanity's deadliest foes serving Cthulhu and the other Great Old Ones. Strange times are upon us, the world is changing, and even death may die – but, until then, the war continues.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brilliant attempt at describing the interactions of the Cthulhu Mythos with the American State through the 20th & 21st Centuries. Very exciting and with the methodical detail that you expect from Osprey as well as entertainingly written by Kenneth Hite, and beautifully illustrated by Darren Tan. If you're a gamer, a board gamer or someone with just an interest in science fiction, alternate realities of just a H P Lovecraft fang who wants to know what has happened to all those tentacles in the time since the 1920's then this is the book for you. Definitive for its niche.

Very interesting. Loved the inclusion of Paul Revere, Aaron Burr, and George Washington.Hmm Moments:Great worldbuilding built on the foundation of real history and the Lovecraftian mythos._________________________________________________Pacing:Great pacing.Last Page Sound:No payoff, but cool nonetheless.
