Publisher's summary

Summer's over, and Connor Connolly is headed back to school to start junior year. But with metabands falling from the sky, the world has changed overnight, and now there are thousands of new metahumans. Just like regular humans, not all metahumans are using their new powers for good.

Now, Connor's not only dealing with the pressures of being a super-human and training with his mentor, Midnight, but also has to balance relationships with the people he cares for most - people who find themselves on different sides of the fence when it comes to their feelings about the new metahumans and the impact they're having on everyone else's lives.

As the world struggles to adjust to the events of the past few months, Connor's alter ego, Omni, works with The Agency to apprehend law-breaking metahumans, and detain them at the Silver Island Meta Detention Facility. When he's recruited for a job assisting the government agency with disarming one of the most powerful and secretive metas in Bay View City, he never expects the devastation of that mission or the effect it will have on both humans and metas. Is Connor capable of becoming the hero he wants to be?

Great second book in the series. Great read

I'm listening to this for the second time, and I love this book series. I just bought the new book Midknight Strikes, and look forward to another great read.

Great series

The first book started off good, the second got even better going more in depth for the characters and the bracelets. Having a real narrator helped a lot as well, if you like the hero genre def give this series a try, stick through the first book with the author narrating!

Good Story progression.

Sometimes we forget the perspective of the story. I keep wanting some more of what other people are up to. then I remember this is Conners story. Lol! Guess I'll have to wait for the .5 novels.

Good. Love the characters.

Almost 5. Some descriptions of guns and situations left me scratching my head. But love it nonetheless and will read next book.

I've been waiting my whole life for this

I honestly just love how I've never heard a story like this before. It kept me engaged the entirety of it, without ever getting too slow or overwhelming. I excepted this book to answers questions I had after finishing Meta, which it did, but now I have 14,000 more questions... AND I LOVE IT. Keep stringing me along, Tom. I'll follow you to the ends of the world.

The Great Storytelling Continues!

This book took everything from the first and kicked it up a level. I love this world of supers!! Tom has been able to take a subject we already think we know, and bring a unique twist.

can't pinpoint what I like

the story hooks me. but I don't really enjoy the writing style or narration.

writing seems to be inconsistent and characters seem to just never address a lot of issues.

narrator needs to work on his yelling. there is a lot of yelling and he sounds the same every time, for every character.
