And a child is born to a ruthless, manipulative man for whom phenomenal wealth and fame are just the first stage in a plan that takes in the whole world. They've got at least one thing in common: their name. But what's the real link between the Tom Taylor who's made of flesh and blood and his counterpart who's made of words? The lost origin story of Tommy Taylor is finally available"--From publisher description.
