Jack Steele: World-renowned agent of Olympus, super-spy, debonair lover of ladies, general man-slut. Facing off with his arch-nemesis, Viktor Dannikor, Steele suffers his greatest defeat, but who will take his place?

Can these five strangers embrace their fates and come together to save the world? They are THE ILLEGITIMATES! And if you called them bastards.... you'd be absolutely right!
