The man charged, his powerful fists raised, and Danny pushed his brother to one side. "Come on," he told himself. "Use your superspeed! The power might not be completely gone!"
When their cover is blown Colin, Danny and Renata must escape to a secret location. But with a scarred supervillain on the rampage and a strange cult on the rise, are the new heroes ready for the battle ahead?

"Packed with action and adventure. Gripping and fast-paced."

"Another excellent episode in what can only be described as a graphic novel (comic) without
pictures! Punchy, exciting, intelligent sci-fi with ethical conundrums and real emotional depth.
The closet book I could compare Sakkara to is probably Alan Moore's famous graphic novel Watchmen."
- Kelley Townley, www.writeaway.org.uk
Book of the Month - December 06: "A cracking winter read... This fast paced thriller will have you
on the edge of your seat."

"This is a thoughtful treatment of what happens when every boy's dream of becoming an actual super
hero comes true... The characters are immediately engaging. Reading this made me want to see a film
version."
- Verbal issue #1, January 2007 (Magazine of the Verbal Arts Centre, Northern Ireland)
"Believable characters combined with fast moving text bring the story to life. Exciting, gripping
and just all round fantastic, this is superhero indulgence at its very best."
