Hero Prophecy

Ten years ago an inexplicable energy wave warped Earth forever . . . Trev Leon grew up in the shattered remains of the once proud United States. He was blessed and cursed like everyone else with a special ability in a world where weak governments are still trying to regain a semblance of control over the superpowered bandits and grotesque mutant animals. With the death of his parents and a warning to keep the nature of his power hidden, Trev moves far away to the desert southwest to start a new life. Starting over in a broken world isn't cheap. Trev's plan is to win the monster-hunting Sonoran Baja Hunter-Tourist Rally to score quick cash and a strong reputation in his new home. Navigating the treacherous desert landscape with his best friend and co-driver Jack and an alluring tourist harboring secrets of her own, Trev realizes that winning the race is no longer his only concern. Facing dangerous monsters, explosive confrontations, and a deepening web of deception, Trev must unravel the hidden mysteries of the southwest. Will Trev and his companions survive the ultimate race and emerge victorious, or will they become the next team to vanish without a trace in an unforgiving desert?

Prophecies don't pay the bills . . . Trev has accepted the truth of Cassie's vision of him becoming a great hero meant to save the Earth and stop the machinations of the dangerous corporation 46P1. While Trev, Jack, and Cassie are a good team, they've got a long way to go before they're ready to take on the most powerful company left in the broken world. But dead or alive bounties can make life less complicated . . . Enjoying the satisfaction that comes with taking down bandits and villains, the team settle on bounty-hunting work as they transition from ragtag racing crew to hero team. They figure they have an easy job when the nearby mining town of New Hope puts out a call for help. Being a hero in a fallen world means risking betrayal. There's more going on in New Hope than Trev and his friends expect. They must deal with monsters, out-of-control mercenaries, and a deadly bandit secret that forces Trev to realize that being the toughest in a fight may not guarantee he can save lives. Will Trev and his team discover the bandits' secret before it's too late for all the innocent people they've sworn to save?

With money flowing in and villains going down by the week, Trev, Cassie, and Jack are building up a reputation as bounty hunters and rookie heroes. They're ready to make the official shift to hero work as soon as they can convince the local police and military they're not out of control bounty hunters only pretending to care about justice. Trev is more concerned with improving control of his power and taking down bounties than worrying about small fry. When a local street gang decides they're going to move into his part of town, he decides to educate them about how living a law-abiding life is far less painful, especially when being a criminal means going up against Trev and his friends. A simple altercation blossoms into a confrontation with a far more dangerous enemy force who has seized control of half the city. Trev and the team are going to have to improve both their powers and their urban warfare tactics if they want to save their city from a dark conspiracy. Will Trev and his friends survive taking on their greatest army of enemies yet unscathed, or will they be forced to understand that ambition, no matter how well-intentioned, can outstrip ability?

The Hero Prophecy hangs over the head of the team . . . With their last major battle pointing in the direction of 46P1 and assassinations in the government proving the company can't be underestimated, Trev and the team prepare for 46P1 to strike back. They've recruited new members and upped their gear. There's only one problem. They've become so good at taking down local villains they're running out of bad guys to stomp. A trip to the north ensnares them in a deadly and unexpected spiderweb . . . Deciding to cast a wider net, the newly expanded team learns of a mysterious underworld hunt in Phoenix for the most unlikely of targets, an archaeologist's young assistant. The hunters become the hunted as Trev and the team decide to investigate. Cassie's prophecies can only do so much to prepare the team for the shocking truth. What started as a standard bounty and villain hunt pushes the team into a confrontation with a powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to keep his deep secrets buried. Everything they think they understand about their world will change. Can Trev and his ragtag hero group stand up to a foe who will spare no expense and dispense with all humanity and mercy?

New respect brings new opportunities and new threats . . . The Sonoran Shielf are now an officially recognized hero team. Criminals, the government, and even the dangerous 46P1 corporation all understand that Trev and his team are powerful and dedicated to justice. A brutal, ruthless new enemy forces Trev and the team into an unexpected alliance. Trev is happy to bask in the team's new reputation. He's not prepared when the New Baja Republic government informs him they expect the Sonoran Shield to help protect the visiting Johnathan Tallmere, the CEO of the dangerous 46P1 company. No matter how bad a situation is, it can always get worse. A psychopathic terrorist cult has decided Tallmere needs to be killed, and they're more than happy to take down anyone who dares get in their way. Trev, Cassie, and the team will be pushed to their limits against this new enemy who harbor no respect for life and a bizarre and sickening happy-go-lucky attitude toward killing. Will Trev and the Sonoran Shield be able to withstand the onslaught of an enemy who knows no fear? How far will they go to protect a man who might be even more dangerous than the terrorists targeting him?

The Sonoran Shield aren't the only hero team in the desert. Trev and his friends encounter a famous veteran team hunting their same targets in the mountains. With their rising fame of the Sonoran Shield and growing threats to the entire country, the Shield thinks it's time to establish more formal alliances. But not all heroes share the same priorities. A shocking precognitive vision of a devastating attack on Tucson only highlights the need to team up, but the leader of the veterans appears more concerned with autographs and taking Cassie on dates than danger to civilians. When an old threat from 46P1 resurfaces, Trev and the team aren't sure whom they can trust. A nightmarish threat requires nightmarish choices. With time running out and hundreds of thousands of lives at stake, Trev is forced to push himself beyond his limits and decide what he's willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Will Trev and the Sonoran Shield be able to save Tucson against a merciless danger that threatens to eradicate the entire city?
