The Programme #1

When a dormant Soviet weapon resurfaces in the post–Cold War world, the balance of global power shifts in terrifying ways. As the U.S. scrambles to respond, a mysterious force known only as the Talibstan Terror emerges—its origins buried in the shadows of history. With Doctor Richter, Max Keane, and Agent Blake caught in the crossfire, and the President of the United States facing a threat beyond conventional defense, the line between war and myth begins to blur.

In a world where the past refuses to stay buried, Max Keane and Stella Blake find themselves caught between a forgotten war and a new one rising from the ashes—where the Soviets have awakened their own superhuman legacy, and the U.S. government scrambles to answer with a relic of its own. With Mike Hinks in the shadows and a mysterious doctor pulling strings, the line between memory and mission blurs as old ghosts and new threats collide.

In the shadow of a looming global conflict, the Spirit of Lenin rallies a cadre of Soviet superhumans known as the "Russian Dolls," while the United States scrambles to match them—only to awaken a forgotten relic of their own program: a once-great musician now past his prime. As Max Keane, Cindy Keane, and the enigmatic Stella Blake navigate a world on the brink, the line between heroism and propaganda blurs in a war where truth itself is a weapon.

In the shadow of escalating global conflict, Max Keane finds himself at the center of a desperate race to unlock his hidden potential, as the secret programmes that created super-humans from rival nations come to light. With Senator Joe and Professor Ivan Korovin pressing him for answers, and allies like Cindy Keane and Mike Hinks caught in the crossfire, Max must navigate a web of suspicion and loyalty—especially as Stella Blake and Roman Kelski seem to know more than they’re saying.

In the shadow of a war that refuses to end, Max Keane finds himself locked in a brutal clash with another American super-soldier, while the President, pressured by a crumbling front and a desperate plea from his assistant Nancy, faces a choice that could alter the fate of the nation. With the echoes of Stalingrad haunting the present and a mysterious figure known only as Revolution stirring in the dark, the line between ally and enemy blurs as secrets from the past threaten to consume the future.
