Super Human

Part of Super Human

In a world where ancient power rises, a group of young heroes embarks on an epic journey that will test their strength, determination, and newly discovered abilities.

“Carroll’s exuberant prose is just right. A novel-length superhero comic sans illustrations [that] should easily appeal to fans of the X–Men and Justice League.”—Publishers Weekly

The time has come for a new generation of heroes . . .

Four thousand years ago, the world’s first superhuman 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 superhuman to the present, where he’ll usher in a new age of tyranny unlike anything the world has ever seen. Determined to stand against their enemies, 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 . . . or their last.
Michael Carroll is the author of comic strips (including Judge Dredd), numerous short stories, and more than a dozen novels. His book, The Awakening, was a 2008 New York Public Library "Books for the Teen Age" selection, and the first three novels in his Super Human series were each Junior Library Guild selections. He lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife, Leonia. View titles by Michael Carroll
