The first novel in the New Heroes / Quantum Prophecy sequence
|
Colin reached out and grabbed hold of the car's engine, ripping it from its chains. He lifted it
above his head.
Solomon Cord dropped the wrench and stared. "God... It's true."
Ten years after a great battle that wiped out all the superheroes, Colin and Danny start developing strange powers.
Is this the beginning of a new age of superheroes? Who can the boys trust? And how will they use their new-found powers - for good or evil?
