Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

Being a superhero should be fun. After all, a world of super powers is a world where Amazonian juggernauts made of candy battle guys in spandex that drive talking cars. Irene loves that weirdness, loves the game of fighting, and loves being a four-foot-tall woman who still gets to drop big heavy objects on villains' heads. In 1980, that fun is in danger. A mad scientist who murders people for his research has everyone afraid. Two of the friendliest super-powered rivals around stop playing and go for the kill.

In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

Publisher's Summary

Superheroes exist.

Driven, honest, courageous...true heroes. They live among us, and all over the world, they save lives. Their stories are told in hushed tones to rapt audiences, over and over again, myths of epic proportions.

This is not that kind of story.

Jolene Faraday is the girl next door, the type of woman who will babysit your kids or lend you 20 bucks when you get into a bind. She takes care of her mother, works her way through college, and even escorts her elderly friend to church. But no one knows the other side of her story.

Jolene is also the Detroit area's most infamous, infuriating burglar, robbing the mansions of the wealthy and making a mockery of the law enforcement officials who vow that each job will be her last. She thrives on the chaos, the infamy, the pure thrill of every heist she pulls off. And then one day, it happens.

Across the globe, a new wave of ordinary people find themselves with superpowers. Some hide, afraid of what they've become. Some become heroes; others, villains. Jolene just becomes a better crook.

And suddenly, it's not just police officers after her. She's officially under the jurisdiction of StrikeForce, Detroit's supernatural law enforcement force, an agency shrouded in mystery. As her actions become more audacious and the world begins to see that she is far more dangerous than they ever realized, she finds herself on StirkeForce's most wanted list.

Which leaves her with a choice to make: learn how to become a hero, or embrace life as a supervillain.

I did not enjoy this book at all

This is so far the only book I've ever refunded, and I have hundreds of titles in my library, I really found it that bad.

The world building and exposition is generally poorly thought out; there was an event which gave a few people superpower, but it's not widely known that it also gave a lot of people very minor abilities, yet the main character is genuinely shocked to discover this. In our world, when a piece of toast gets a weird burn mark shaped like someone famous it makes the news, how is it that people getting powers somehow didn't get reported all over the news?

The characters act a little like marionettes, in that they have no internal self consistency, they just do whatever the author needs them to do.
The characters often act in extremely illogical ways, for instance one character has the ability to control electronics, and uses his powers to rob banks, yet he has another of his team break open a vault BEFORE he decides to use his power and disable the systems, and no it's not some Machiavellian plan to incriminate his fellows, or an attempt to garner infamy.

The main protagonist is afflicted with the "I'm always right" syndrome, which wouldn't necessarily be a problem, if it was just a case that she thought she was always right; no, whatever snap judgements she comes to are always correct, and no this isn't her superpower.

All in all, I found this to be a terrible book.
