About this ebook
For the G1 team, this was the most dangerous part of their mission...SEARCHING THE HOME OF THE ENEMY!
It's one thing to be chasing monsters, and them not chasing you, but it's quite a different matter when you seek them out in their own home!
Desperate for clues how to stop the Lovecraftian monsters invading the world from the crater in Nevada, the G1 team decides to bite the bullet and descend into the crater to see where the monsters came from.
For Norris it won't be a pleasant trip, because he's running out of doughnuts.
But one thing is for sure, if they don't do something soon, it will be the end of the world!
A read you don't want to miss out on.

The Throne of Cythulhu - John Pirillo
The path of least resistance is not always the well-traveled path, nor the one clearly marked.
Sometimes it is deep in the heart of the greatest troubles, the greatest sorrows, and the worst of circumstances.
What makes a man or woman rise above such limitations is sometimes not their cleverness, their great intellect, their astute qualities, but rather the simplicity of their nature.
A childlike simplicity that refuses to get mired down in the thickness of an adult world mired in limitations and dogma.
But instead, motivates them to kick butt when kicking is the only thing worth doing!
—From the Einstein Doctrines
Secret Meeting
Higgins stared out the window high above the massive arms of Big Ben. The meeting had been called for here because of its exclusivity and the fear of having been compromised.
The fact that the Elder God had gotten into G1’s main headquarters was not reassuring. And even though it hadn’t done that much damage thanks to the quick-thinking agents there, still it had been compromised somehow.
I don’t have to tell everyone here how important it is that we say nothing of this place to anyone.
Anderson’s old chair made a loud creaking sound as he shifted uncomfortably. Going to be hard to explain why we keep ending up at Big Ben every day.
March eyed him. We won’t meet the same place twice.
Norris growled, rubbing at his left side which had caught on fire from Higgins weapons fire.
Higgins gave him a guilty look.
What?
He asked her. Just an itch is all,
he said.
Higgins rolled her eyes and said, Men!
Women!
Norris shot back with a pained grin, reaching for a doughnut with his other hand.
She shut up this time, but he could tell it was straining every nut screwed into the metal plating around her spirit, as surely as if a bulkhead were caulked tight against the raging sea from the outside ocean on a sailing craft.
And he was glad she didn’t choose that moment to rebuff him. He didn’t like insulting ladies. Even though she didn’t seem like a lady much of the time, she was so damned rowdy, he thought with an amused chuckle to himself.
General Haymaker glanced at Norris. Something you want to say, Norris?
Just where’s the rest of the doughnuts?
Anderson burst into laughter.
The General scowled at him, and he stifled it.
Higgins sat down again.
But not next to March.
He frowned but didn’t say anything. She was doing her punishment routine with him again. You don’t remember me; I won’t remember you.
He looked away.
So, at least we know something of what’s going on now,
Higgins finally said, breaking the sudden chill in the air.
Something’s not enough,
General Haymaker growled, grimacing at the intensity of his own voice. He hated being so hard when everyone had been through so much, but this situation was intolerable.
What do we know?
He asked, glancing at Doctor Swenson, who remained calm through all the emotional turmoil about him, doing his damned best not to break into laughter at the antics of these good people. He loved them all. He didn’t think the General could have chosen better than these.
Doctor Swenson shuffled a huge stack of portfolios, and then began sliding one across the large table to everyone there, averting his face so they couldn’t see the smile lurking there as he broke up the side shots everyone was taking at each other.
Page one, possible suspect.
Jeremy Staten?
March asked, looking at the photo inside with his name.
His body was found in the burned-out apartment that Agent Norris and Higgins set on fire.
Norris growled. I...,
and on Higgins’ glance, ...We, didn’t set it on fire. The creature attacking us did.
Creatures,
Higgins amended.
Whatever!
Norris responded, taking another bite of his doughnut.
General Haymaker scowled. There were no remains.
March interceded for his friends. Might I remind the General that we’re not dealing with aliens, or terrorists here? This is a supernatural incident. And as such we must observe alternate protocols.
General Haymaker scowled at March, not liking what he said one bit. You know what the Queen will say if I do that?
I do.
And you’re willing to have her chew your ass off if you’re wrong?
She can have mine,
Norris quipped. Halves burnt off anyway thanks to...
Agent Norris!
Higgins growled.
Norris just gave her a sweet smile, then said, Anyone order doughnuts? I can if...
He started to rise.
Anderson pulled him back down. Behave yourself.
General Haymaker was about to explode with anger when Doctor Swenson clutched his arm tightly. General, they’re just blowing off steam. Let me continue, please.
The General gave Doctor Swenson a growl, but then softened and nodded.
Norris and Higgins gave the doctor a grateful smile, which he ignored studiously, turning to the next page of the portfolio he had handed a copy of to everyone there.
On page two are copies of the prints that were lifted from Jennie Olgeson’s flat, Jeremy Staten’s flat, the Mausoleum entrance, and the magical implements and exit door behind the tapestry.
Norris snorted between bites of his doughnut, Your men must have been doing pot or something, these are all exactly the same.
Exactly!
Doctor Swenson stated.
Norris eyed the doctor. That’s what I said.
Exactly!
The Doctor replied.
The General smashed a fist onto the table. Will you two stop it!
March frowned. Are you saying the same person made all the prints, Doctor?
Doctor Swenson wouldn’t grace that with an answer. It was obvious.
Everyone in the room exchanged glances, and then looked at the prints in their portfolios.
