Product Description

Four thousand years ago the world's first super human walked the earth. Possessing the strength of one hundred men, skin impervious to attack, and the ability to read minds, this immortal being used his power to conquer and enslave nations. Now plans are in motion that will transport this super human to the present, where he'll usher in a new age of tyranny unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Determined to stand against them, using powers they've only just begun to master, is a ragtag group of young heroes. For them this first test may be their greatest ... and last.

4.0 out of 5 stars entertaining save the world thriller, May 14 2010

By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Super Human (Hardcover)

Five millennia ago, the Super Human Krodin became the ruler of Egypt. He literally led his army against the powerful Assyrians destroying the enemy as he could read minds and possessed strength beyond a hundred mortals. After Assyria, other nations fell to Krodin's might.

In the present, the adult populace becomes ill in a horrific pandemic outburst. The Helotry has begun its plot for world domination with spreading a disease and bringing Krodin to modern times as their adulated leader who will be dictator of earth. An insurgency surfaces that seems laughable; but shockingly they gain victories over the Helotry. This small group thwarting the powerful Helotry is teens with superpowers led by telekinetic Roz Dalton.

This is an entertaining save the world thriller that pays homage to the Teen Titans of DC. Action-packed throughout, young adult readers will relish the teenage heroes battling the ruthless villains while their parents are ailing. Although the villains fail to live up to their reputation as callous and cold-bloodedly cruel (no Joker in the pack) and a romance seems more of a requirement (pet peeve of mine -others might like the relationship sidebar), this is a fun good superhero vs. bad supervillains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Human - to say the very least!, Jun 21 2010

By J. Field - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Super Human (Hardcover)

The entire story-line, beginning over four thousand years ago, is really very smart, all coming together in the present. The ideas are ingenious, the plot is masterful and the spirit, personality and emotion of the characters is flawless. Whether they are nasty, evil, quick-witted, clever, canny - I could go on, all of characters are very well rounded. The action scenes are very vivid, really powerful stuff, which come alive in each page.

This is story-telling at it's best. An exceptionally good read for teens and teens-at-heart.

Will be sure to read the trilogy now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better:, Nov 22 2011

By Mister - Published on Amazon.com

Other reviewers must be friends with the author because they build this book to be great when it needs work. I believe it could have been better if the author put more thought into it. The whole concept of young adults is fine but I did not expect them to be 12 and 14 year olds. Come on how is a 12 suppose to be the worlds greatest con artist and still be a good guy that we are supposed to be cheering for. I am almost done with it and I do like the general concept but wish the author would have put a little more time into the details of the plot.
