Summary

The long-dreaded superhuman conflict is on its way. The shockwaves from The Boys' first encounter with The Seven still reverbreate today, and Hughie discovers the history of his comrades' clandestine war when original leader Colonel Greg Mallory takes him through half a century of the filthiest black operations imaginable. With both good and bad guys teetering on the brink, a shadowy force sets events in motion that will push even Butcher over the edge. And Butcher? He could have been a very different man - when the love of a good woman pulled him aside from his path of violence and despair. This is the story of Billy and Becky, told by the man himself: from the backstreets of London's East End to the carnage of the Falklands War, from the heights of love to the depths of tragedy. And when he's done, he'll be ready... to finish things once and for all
