About the book
Conspiracy Theories Meet Superhero Reality
ALL IT TAKES
It's visible to all: There are sinister forces at play in the world, seeking to bring down civilization. The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing. We are in need of a hero.
NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES-BUT SOME DO
In recent times, individuals with extraordinary powers have emerged, capable of altering the course of history, or at least saving a few lives. However, these individuals have free will-and not all choose to use their abilities for good. We require someone with an untarnished reputation, a modern-day Galahad, someone guided by principles of integrity and righteousness.
NOT THAT KIND OF GOOD GUY
Enter Michael: a product of a turbulent upbringing, raised in the foster care system of one of America's most perilous inner cities, his insights gained from interactions with drug users and sex workers. Perhaps he is not the hero we expected, but he is the hero we require. And he is on the brink of adolescence.
