  • The Ascension: a Super Human Clash

    Michael Carroll

    Paperback (Speak, July 19, 2012)
    Time-traveling supervillains and young superheroes in this sequel to the thrilling Super Human! They thought him dead. After a battle of that magnitude, how could Krodin have possibly survived? But you can't underestimate a time-traveling supervillain. Young heroes Roz, Abbey, Paragon, and Lance find this out the hard way when, in the blink of an eye, the world changes. At first it's not all that noticeable. But something's not quite right. Maybe it's the smell of ozone in the air or the people acting strangely, like drones. Or maybe it's the images of Krodin everywhere that confirms it: This is not their America . . .

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.For fans of Steelheart and The Avengers, Hunter is an action-packed superhero story that is hard to put down.Praise for HUNTER“No one writes superheroes as good as Michael Carroll. With Hunter, Michael takes his flawed, all-too-human superheroes to the next level. One of my favorite series.”—Michael Scott, author of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series“[HUNTER] is fast paced, exciting, and extremely difficult to put down . . . its unexpected, jaw-dropping ending guarantees anticipation for the next entry."—VOYA"A flurry of odd jobs (including time in a carnival), a brief romantic fling, and an intriguing epilogue make this appealing to all sorts of readers, and as always, Carroll delivers a super story."—Booklist

  • The Ascension: a Super Human Clash

    Michael Carroll

    Hardcover (Philomel Books, June 30, 2011)
    They'd done it. Not only had Roz, Abby, Lance, and Thunder survived their first battle with a super villain, they'd defeated him. Krodin was dead, and they had saved the world. Now everything could go back to normal-good old, boring normal. School. Parents. Friends. But three weeks later, the world suddenly changes. The United States is under martial law, the people are little more than drones, and where Central Park should be there now stands a massive glass-and-steel building, home to the all-powerful Chancellor. In Michael Carroll's follow-up to the acclaimed Super Human, the world has been remade in the Chancellor's image, and it's about to get much much worse. Only this young band of heroes has a chance of stopping him, but can they return the world to what it was, or will they be stranded in this alternate world forever?
