More Description
The defeat of the near-invincible villain Krodin has left a void in the superhuman hierarchy, a void that two opposing factors are trying to fill. The powerful telepath Max Dalton believes that the human race must be controlled and shepherded to a safe future, while his rival Casey Duval believes that strength can only be achieved through conflict.
Caught in the middle is Lance McKendrick, a teenager with no special powers, only his wits and the tricks of a con artist. But Lance has a mission of his own- Krodin's ally, the violent and unpredictable supervillain Slaughter, murdered Lance's family, and he intends to make her pay.
In the fourth installment of Michael Carroll's acclaimed Super Human series, Lance - unwilling to be a pawn in Dalton's and Duval's plans - turns his back on his friends, breaking his ties with the superhuman community. He embarks on a life-changing journey across the United States, searching for the skills and means to attain his true goal- vengeance against Slaughter.
