Earth survived. Barely.
Eighteen months later, the exile zones are up, the newly formed World Guard is armed and increasingly nervous, and Michael — who was supposed to move on to the next iteration — is still here. He tells himself he's monitoring Prime Wave stability. He has a coffee maker. He has a chair that faces a window. He has, though he doesn't have a word for it yet, something to lose.
The Authority notices.What arrives first is Third — scientist, senior official, and the most unsettling kind of curious: the kind that doesn't know it should stop. What it finds in Earth's Prime Wave connection is extraordinary enough to rewrite everything the Authority thought it knew about the experiment. What arrives second is Abaddon, an Enforcer built from three beings in one frame, patient as a weapon and considerably less interested in what Third found.
Director Lucas Sokolov has spent fifty years building a legal argument for exactly this situation. The Harbor City Guard — new uniforms, new name, same battered van — is about to fight something that makes every powered criminal they've ever faced look like a minor scheduling conflict. And Michael, for the first time in seventy-two thousand years, is going to have to ask for help.He's on the right side of history. He just needs the humans to make sure history notices.
Superior Wave is the second book in The Prime Wave Accounting — darker, faster, and considerably more legally complex than anyone expected.
Genre: Science Fiction
