The Cabal

by Saul Dunn · 1978

In the year 2420, Earth has blossomed into a prosperous but sparsely populated world—just in time for an unprecedented threat. Ten million alien invaders, led by the ruthless Grand Marshall Farrago of the planet Calm, descend on the planet during the global July 4th celebration, intent on a wholesale holocaust. Only one man knows the true scale of the danger, and he belongs to the only organization capable of outwitting the alien armada: the Cabal. The Cabal is a covert collective of elite operatives—known by monikers like Vandal, Pinball, Roatax, and Woo—who exist beyond the reach of law and bureaucracy. Brilliant, lethal, and virtually indestructible, they navigate a web of intrigue, betrayal, and personal sacrifice. When Pinball, haunted by his past, flees to a derelict Soho hideout, he confronts his own mortality and a virulent cancer that even the Cabal cannot cure. Yet his desperate leap through time and space may hold the key to humanity’s salvation. Saul Dunn weaves a fast‑paced, high‑stakes saga of interstellar war, secret societies, and the fragile humanity that persists amid cosmic chaos. The Cabal offers a thrilling blend of sci‑fi action and gritty character drama, inviting readers to wonder who will stand when the world’s greatest invasion begins.
