The Gutterverse: Book One - Reload - Paperback

by Justin Lampert (Author), Will Griffin (Author), Lampert X. Griffin Urban Universe (Author)

He's died eight times. He's not done yet. D-Lo Graves grew up in the Marrow-a housing project where the streetlights don't work, the elevators smell like death, and black SUVs cruise through like sharks circling blood in the water. When the Green Flash lit up the sky and gave certain people impossible abilities, D-Lo discovered his gift: he can't stay dead. But every resurrection costs him something. Memories. Feelings. Pieces of who he used to be. Now the people hunting him have a name: the Trust. They take people with powers. They don't bring them back. When D-Lo's best friend is murdered and his little sister starts showing signs of abilities, he realizes the Trust isn't just watching the Marrow-they're harvesting it. And D-Lo is done being a victim. "The cost of survival when you can't stay dead." Armed with nothing but his resurrection, his wits, and a handful of allies who've learned to fight back, D-Lo must become something he never wanted to be: a leader, a soldier, and the last line of defense for everyone he loves. THE GUTTERVERSE: BOOK ONE - RELOAD is a pulse-pounding urban fantasy that combines the gritty authenticity of The Wire with the superhuman stakes of Marvel's Luke Cage. Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin, Tracy Deonn, and Rebecca Roanhorse. In the Marrow, death isn't the end. It's just the reload.
