Books in The Flash series

On a hot summer day, the doors of IRON HEIGHTS PENITENTIARY open, and the WEATHER WIZARD walks out a free man. After years in prison, the super-villain takes a deep breath and looks to the heavens. Suddenly, a giant thundercloud erupts on the horizon! Across town, the FLASH streaks toward the storm and spots an F5 tornado threatening downtown CENTRAL CITY! The FASTEST MAN ALIVE must save the city's residents and identify the cause of the deadly twister. Until he does, the WEATHER WIZARD will remain under a cloud of suspicion.

In a friendly race between Speedsters, KID FLASH and the FLASH zoom through CENTRAL CITY at nearly the speed of light. Suddenly, the startled young super hero screeches to a stop. A strange shadow is overtaking the sky. As the city becomes enveloped in near-total darkness, the Flash realizes that only one man could be behind the evil event . . . the SHADE. This shadowy super-villain is a threat to people everywhere . . . but with the entire city blanketed in darkness, the danger will be magnified ten-fold.
