Publisher's Synopsis
For people of power there is nothing more important than power. Power brings influence, power protects, power grows ever more power, and only power can present a threat to power. In a world ensnared within an intricately woven web of jealously guarded power change threatens the status quo and is a threat to be exploited or destroyed. When impossibly advanced alien technology rains down granting power at random the world's web of power begins to twist and its strands strain and snap. Team Aegis; a group of volunteers representing the United States government's first effort to control this new power. The Mechanic; an embittered man with dreams of using the new powers to create a utopia. The Angel of Death; a woman whose powers could extinguish all life on the planet, or provide immortality. El Tirador; a criminal whose new powers grant him an opportunity to forge a criminal empire unlike anything that has gone before. The Hero of Houston; a broken hero desperate to be a beacon of strength and decency in a callously indifferent world.
