Amazing Novels That'll Blow Your Mind!

Rise of the Heroes

Hero.com - Rise of the Heroes

Surfing the net during a lightning storm has amazing consequences for a group of teenage friends. Superhero powers are theirs at the click of a mouse! Trouble is, they don't know what the powers will be until they try them out... But superpowers carry super responsibilities. When a weather-altering, world-conquering supervillain kidnaps their mum, they have to decide: save her... or save the world!

Rise of the Heroes is the first book in the brilliant new series HERO.COM - the perfect antidote to the anti-series VILLAIN.NET.

Council of Evil

Villain.net - Council of Evil

HERO.COM and VILLAIN.NET are a fiendishly clever new concept of series and anti-series. Publishing simultaneously the books will stand alone but, thanks to their cunning plotting, they will also overlap, to give added enjoyment to super observant readers.

The only question that remains is... Which side are you on?
