The second volume in a trilogy of novelisations, based on the comic book series created and written by J. Michael Straczynski, creator of the hit science-fiction television series Babylon 5. Ten years have passed since the Specials - men and women gifted with incredible powers - had their standoff against the government. Feared, hunted, and yet revered, they have scattered across the globe, only to be forced to come together once more when the Special known as Critical Maas takes the city of Chicago hostage. Now, a small group of her former friends have decided to take it back, in exchange for a pardon from the government. But their actions will not come without a heavy price to pay for the Specials, and the world...
Over twenty years ago a comet struck outside the town of Pederson, Illinois. The children who were in utero when the comet struck, all 113 of them, gained super-powers when they were born.
When one dies the others gain in power, some of the superheroes are trying to live normal lives, but someone is hunting them for their powers and things will never be normal again.
Interesting but I need to read the rest of the series to decide what I really think.
