The third novel in the New Heroes / Quantum Prophecy sequence
|
Renata turned her hands and forearms solid just as the man pulled the trigger. The bullet struck her crystalline arms and ricocheted into the jungle.
With Colin living on the streets, and Danny and Renata falling out with their military leaders, the New Heroes face their greatest challenge yet. The sinister Trutopians are on the rise and each of the heroes must decide - whose side are they on?

"The New Heroes must remain the superhero series of choice for the sophisticated young reader,
bringing many disparate and literary elements to the much-maligned and often ill-served genre."
- Luke Slater, www.writeaway.org.uk
"Kids should love this third episode in the adventures of the new superheroes."

"A great novel that is cleverly written and isn't your run-of-the-mill superhero book"
- www.soteriamag.co.uk
"Carroll writes good superhero fare, with action scenes that are well-paced and exciting, and
conjure up images you could easily imagine frozen into a comic-book frame."
- Andy Hall, Deathray magazine (****)
"Action packed drama rips through every page and the author isn't worried about taming down subject
matter for its audience, making it all the more appealing."
