The Ascension: A Super Human Clash by Michael Carroll
3.0
Another good actioney book. It has the same problems as the first, eg. Stupid decisions moving on the plot. And added into the mix is a theme that seems to be getting pretty common these days: jerk characters that are so unlikable that they distract you from the story. Really don't get that.
The bad aside, this is still a ton of fun to read. The author is extremely creative with the superpowers and especially with his solutions to when I think normal writers would say they have written themselves into a wall. And Lance and Brawn? Yes please. Can we just get books about them? And can the other characters start listening to them since they seem to be more intelligent than all the others combined?
A nifty thing the author did was show his research. His alternate reality really rang true. Kind of scary actually.
