In December 2012, The U.S. government launched. secret program to create superhumans called Ascendants. In July 2018, the U.S. government lost control over them. Now, America enters a new era in which ordinary men and women can become the heroes we need . . . or the monsters we fear. TIME TO ASCEND! When firefighter Bill Goddard raced into a blazing building to rescue trapped children, he expected to die. Instead, he became something more than human—the nation's first ascendant. Now known as American Eagle, Bill must assemble a team of other ascended heroes to defend the country from villainous forces intent on wreaking chaos and destruction. But the process of ascension is fraught with peril, and not everyone emerges with their mind and morality unscathed. In America's hour of need, who will answer the call? And can they do what it takes to protect the nation without sacrificing the values they've sworn to uphold? Praise for Ascendant: Star Spangled Squadron: “The story moves at a fairly brisk pace, and there is plenty of action to keep the pages turning. . . . [A]n enjoyable introduction to a new superhero team, and a solid hook into what is planned to be the broader Ascendant Universe. . . . [D]elivers on aspirational heroes, sexy heroines, and big action.”—The Splintering
