Here’s the PDF of 7th Son Descent (PDF), if you want to cut to the chase.

I ripped these details about the book off J.C.’s site:

The president of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four-year-old boy…

So begins 7th Son: Descent, the technothriller novel by J.C. Hutchins. Originally released as a free audiobook podcast, Descent will be in bookstores in late October. 7th Son has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time.com, Wired.com UK, and on the cover of Blogger & Podcaster magazine.

As America reels from the bizarre presidential assassination committed by a child, seven men are abducted from their normal lives and delivered to a secret government facility. Each man has his own career, his own specialty. All are identical in appearance. The seven strangers were not born, but grown — unwitting human clones — as part of a project called 7th Son.

The government now wants something from these “John Michael Smiths.” They share the flesh as well as the implanted memories of the psychopath responsible for the president’s murder. The killer has bigger plans, and only these seven have the unique qualifications to track and stop him. But when their progenitor makes the battle personal, it becomes clear John Alpha may know the seven better than they know themselves…

Become a part of the Obsidian Blackout, J.C. says, and you’ll make history. Call it immersive storytelling. Call it alternate reality gaming. Whatever. J.C. is driving us all into new territory, and the whole project deserves some attention.

Read more here, and then, I’d love to know what you think. Will you contribute? Does a project that encourages YOU to get more creative make you uncomfortable? How does this differ from Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, where the fourth wall comes down and the people at home were the actors in the drama?
