Opis

Book 2 of the Connor Rix Chronicles Have a problem with a violent superhuman outlaw? Connor Rix is the guy you call to set things right. But some problems are too big even for him when a wave of political assassinations by Modified superhumans sets off a chain of events that threatens to engulf the world in conflict. From this chaos an old enemy of Rix resurfaces, bent on more than simply revenge. This foe seeks to eliminate the spread of human Modifications entirely, and his actions could plunge the newly-formed nations of North America into another bloody war. If Rix is going to survive this encounter he'll need to rely on old allies, but also new friends. That is, if these new friends can be convinced they're fighting the same fight. There's a catatonic woman confined to a cell reserved for extraordinary Modified Individuals. What secrets reside inside her head? Rix must also form an alliance with a decommissioned combat cyborg who, not long ago, fought for the other side. And then, of course, there's the monster. No one is precisely sure what he even is, let alone where his allegiances lie. Before this conflict is over Rix will meet an entirely new group of Modified men and women with astonishing powers and abilities. Whether that will be enough to stop the coming storm is another matter entirely. Levers of Power is a 56,000-word novel, available in all popular e-book formats and as a trade paperback.
