Incredibly informative about occult and conproratorial forces in the United States, primarily in the 20th century. The Nine (a group of bourgeois occultists in the mid twentieth century), as evidenced by the title are the focal point with many different tgreads writhing around them.

Meant to read this series for years and it doesn't disappoint. A myriad of connections (both documented and speculative) between government mind control, wandering bishops, and occult adventures of both the rich and powerful and the low and criminal.

I'm not sure what I think of it all - there are so many connections one would need a flow chart to keep track of it all - but it seems certain that during the Cold War both cults and government operatives were in bed together in all manner of strange configurations.

Starting (attempting?) volume 2: A Warm Gun.
