Kev Hawkins is a Special Air Services corporal turned assassin, called in by the British government when they want someone removed. The Authority are Earth's last line of defense, known and feared across many galaxies and dimensions. Fan favorite writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, War Stories) and acclaimed artist Glenn Fabry (Global Frequency) take us on a ride that includes the possible destruction of all life on Earth as well as guns, aliens, explosions, a tiger and an orange.
Hawkins' new assignment is to find and eliminate The Authority and, oddly enough, his task is easier doen than said. An awkward partnership is forged as they set out to save the planet from certain, alien doom. Can they succeed before The Midnighter uses Kev's head as a hood ornament for the Carrier? Later, Apollo and Midnighter are paired with their favorite homophobic SAS operative. Together they must help appease an alien armada bent on destruction and genocide that stands poised to assault the planet Earth.
