War of Man 2

De: G. J. Jackson

Heroes don't always save the day. Sometimes they're too busy choosing between their families and the world.

When the President of the United States gets vaporized in a nuclear strike that nobody saw coming, the rules change. Fast.

James Addison, known to the world as Bomb Launcher, had his chance to stop this. He captured the man who would become the world's most dangerous threat, then let him go because he wanted to come home to his pregnant wife. That choice just killed fifty thousand people in Washington D.C.

Blood Regent, a woman who can control every drop of blood in your body, is being hunted by a government that fears her more than they fear the man who actually launched the nuke. Why? Because she slept with someone who wasn't the President. Because jealousy in high places is more dangerous than you think.

Across the globe, Jaykar, a mechanical genius with a god complex and access to Russia's nuclear arsenal, is just getting started. His message is simple: you have one week to negotiate. The alternative is more cities turned to ash.

Meanwhile, in Norway, a hero who has never killed is about to learn that some enemies can't be reasoned with. In Brussels, two women meet in an elevator and change each other's lives in ninety seconds. And in the shadows, alliances are forming between people who understand that sometimes destroying your enemy's career is more satisfying than destroying their body.

This isn't a story about good versus evil. It's about people with godlike powers making deeply human mistakes. About the gap between being powerful and being right. About what happens when the heroes are flawed, the villains have valid points, and the people in charge are the least qualified to make decisions that affect millions.

The world is burning. The heroes are compromised. And the clock is ticking.

For mature readers. Contains adult content, political intrigue, moral complexity, and characters who will make you question everything you thought you knew about heroes and villains.
