Meta - Paperback

by Tom Reynolds (Author)

A sixteen-year-old nobody just became the most powerful superhero on the planet. He has no idea what he's doing.
It's been ten years since 'The Battle' - the catastrophic clash between metahumans that destroyed a generation of heroes and left the world terrified of superpowers. For Connor Connolly, it was the night he lost his parents.
Now Connor scrapes by in Bay View City, living with his meta-obsessed older brother Derrick, trying to survive high school, and doing his best to forget the world that took everything from him.
Then he wakes up wearing metabands.
Mysterious. Powerful. And supposedly extinct.
Overnight, Connor goes from invisible teenager to Omni - a fledgling hero with abilities he can barely control, a masked vigilante mentor named Midnight who trains like a drill sergeant, and a terrifying new villain called The Controller who's threatening to tear his city apart.
Between school, secrets, and learning that flying is way harder than it looks, Connor has to figure out what kind of hero he wants to be - before someone else makes that choice for him.
