Publisher's Synopsis
Some were raised to be superheroes, some were plucked from everyday life; none could imagine how important their destinies would become._ The Alpha teams, made up of the finest superheroes on the planet, were formed after the first Supervillains world war. Every three years, supers from around the world are recruited to attend the Alpha academy. These young hopefuls from varied cultures and parts of the world are trained and nurtured to one day take their place alongside the great teams. Combat training and technology are taught alongside the lessons that will lead to the 'Heart of a Hero.'_ This smart epic is written with great attention to detail throughout. The well-rounded characters are very developed and brought to life for the reader. An intricate multi-threaded story with several twists and a surprise ending draws readers into this unique alternate world and its jargon along with the beginning students. This is large scale storytelling, reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Star Wars Saga. Special attention is also shown, incorporating both genders and a wide array of cultures into this work. Although this is a large stand alone book, it is the start of a series that will last for some time. As a serious take on superfiction, this is not intended for small children or as a bedtime story._ Coach Connors, a seasoned war veteran and experienced mentor, takes charge of the team that is central to the story. Darkspeed is assigned the role of leader over his teammates; Olympian, Cosmos, Bioforce, Shi, and Virtuoso. Quickly, they start to learn the skills that will one day decide life and death._ Shortly into their training, a second war between Superheroes and Supervillains breaks out. The young heroes must follow their mentors into a fight none were ready for. Secrets of the past and of their own families find their way to the surface as the conflict erupts, bringing to the light of day the origins heroes and villains share._ Vector, the nightmare all superheroes feared, returns to conquer the world. His return to lead the Supervillains throws the world into chaos as the heroes of the world falter under the onslaught._ OMNI, the greatest Superhero who ever lived, is forced to once again become the point of the heroes spear. The world hangs in the balance as good faces evil to see who will be victorious and who will be destroyed._ Join Darkspeed, Olympian, Cosmos, Bioforce, Shi, Virtuoso, and a host of others as they learn what it takes to become the greatest of superheroes. Be there as they learn why those that came before them lived by the motto 'Never Alone.'
