Division Six
"They call it a cold war. The Superpowers play chess, sending pawns out instead of knights to do the work. No one misses a pawn."
Jack Hennessey can't seem to die. He's been hit by trucks, dropped off buildings, and sent into the worst of the Second World War — and he keeps getting back up. Born near Tunguska, Russia, his body runs hotter than it should, heals faster than it can, and draws the kind of attention from Uncle Sam that a man would rather avoid. Jack keeps moving. Keeps drinking. Keeps his past buried where it belongs.
But the past has a way of finding men like Jack.
When the most powerful technology corporation in the world reaches out from the shadows, Jack is offered something rarer than money — answers. Deep inside World Corp International, off every org chart and above every clearance level, exists a team assembled for one purpose. They call it Division Six. Nobody outside those walls is supposed to know it exists.
The a near-immortal operative running from a government that wants him erased. A telekinetic young woman the world tried to lock away. A barefoot genius who once cured smallpox and helped land a flag on the moon — not the American flag.
The find a stolen mineral that can kill with a thought, recover weapons that should never have been built, and solve a twenty-year-old disappearance that the world decided was never a crime.
Division Six is a neo-pulp Cold War thriller set in the shadows of the 1950s — part hard-boiled detective fiction, part paranormal conspiracy, all muscle. For readers of vintage pulp adventure, secret history fiction, and classic American noir with a supernatural edge.

I went with four stars over three because after I read it and thought about it the more I liked it. Division Six is a fun read that has all the elements of great Sci-Fi from ray guns to mutants. The story plays out around the mystery of a missing girl and her wealthy father who spends his fortune to find her. A detective, Jack Hennessey, with a "hidden" talent hires on to solve a mystery of his own.
The book feels like a 1950's detective story with over the top 1950's horror movie monsters and gadgets. I loved all the characters even the villan and could see this book set up for sequels.
