Beria’s plan is to secretly place his country’s Variants-ordinary people mysteriously embued with strange, superhuman powers-into the very highest levels of leadership, where he can use them to stage a government coup and seize control of the USSR.Īmerica’s response comes from its intelligence communities, including the American Variants recruited for the top-secret MAJESTIC-12 program, who are suddenly thrown into their most dangerous and important assignment yet.
In the aftermath, the Soviet Union is thrown into crisis, giving former secret police chief Laverentiy Beria exactly the opening he needs. Martinez is playing real history here, there was a power vacuum when Stalin died in 1953 and Beria was a real person who was as evil as Stalin or even some of the Nazis. Eisenhower is now the US President and as an inheritor of the office, he is at a bit of a remove from the Majestic 12 program. The United States, is of course, invested in what happens next since the Soviet Union is their chief national antagonist. However, one of those successors is Laverentiy Beria, a man with powers of his own. This obviously opens up a vacuum in the Soviet Union with a few players vying for power and no crystal clear successor.
Michael Martinez begins the conclusion to Majestic 12, his Spies and Superpowers series with nothing less than the death of Joseph Stalin.
