Description
Getting superpowers was the easy part.
John Chambers can fly and control fire—which makes him government property the moment he turns eighteen. In a world where the Superhuman Induction Act drafts every superhuman into the military, the superhuman draft has hung over his whole generation like a sentence waiting to be carried out.
His father’s lawyers found a loophole: a licensed, corporate-backed superhero team, whose members are exempt. So the Chambers fortune builds the Protectorate—Las Vegas’s first superhero squad—and puts John, eighteen and untrained, in command. His best friends. A shapeshifter with a body that becomes the weapon. A girl fighting her way out of the foster system. And the legacy grandson of the world’s first superhero.
What the team doesn’t have is a plan for their debut—crashed by a plasma-wielding Marine who blames the new Nucleus for every wrong turn of his life. Or for the press, the lawsuits, and the department of the federal government that would prefer they fail.
Then a rift opens in the sky above Beverly Hills, and a red-haired woman John has seen in his father’s office his whole life—who never seemed to age—steps through it. What she shows him changes everything he knows about humanity’s past, and what’s coming for its future.
Revelations is the opening novella of The Protectorate saga. The story continues in Invasion.
