mistress of adventure Mercedes Lackey, #2 in a new pulse-pounding saga
of modern-day humans with superpowers. After turning back an invasion of
super-science power Nazi war machines, the heroes go on the hunt for the
Nazi masters and take the battle to the bad guys.
From New York Times best-seller and science fiction and fantasy
mistress of adventure Mercedes Lackey together with a team of topnotch
collaborators, entry #2 in The Secret World Chronicle, a pulse-pounding
saga of superpowers-and the very human men and women who must learn to
wield them without losing themselves in the process.
After an Earth-scarring apocalyptic battle, the meta-humans have turned
back a massive invasion of super-science powered Nazi war machines-and
at least driven whoever is in ultimate control of them to pause and
regroup. Now meta-hero organizations Echo and sometime Russian ally CCCP
must go on offense and battle back. Task one: to hunt down the secret
puppetmasters behind the Nazi robot invasion, the Thule Society, and try
to cut off the multi-universe plague they have unleashed at its roots.
To do so, the heroes of Echo face the guardians of a hidden trove of
Nazi armor. Meanwhile, a sadistic genius super villain arises who is
determined to defeat both heroes and Thulians alike-a villain who just
may have the wealth and cunning to pull it off.
It's "go time" once again for the meta-heroes, including fire-bender
John Murdock, hacker-witch Vikki Nagy, healer Belladona Blue,
super-quick Mercurye-and most of all for their ghostly ally, Seraphym,
the spirit of the world who uses her secret influence to direct the
fight against a Thulian-based tyranny of evil and slavery that is fast
descending upon the entire universe!
