About this ebook

John Ridley, author of Love is a Racket, delivers an action-filled novel about a female cop facing off against strangely powerful enemies in a near-future Los Angeles.

In the near future, the world has become home to certain people with amazing genetic structures—giving them powers that make them frighteningly superior to normal humans. The Night Watchman was the first. Somewhere in San Francisco, he was out there—stopping a bank robbery, saving a kid from a runaway truck, whatever was needed. More “superheroes” followed,
though nobody called them that—but then came the bad ones, those who took pleasure in using their powers for ill. In response came the M-Tac squads: cops specially trained to fight these super-lethal enemies. Not a typical comic book superhero novel, John Ridley introduces a brave new world of heroes and villains, and shows that there’s no such thing as a Good Guy or a Bad Guy.

Ratings and reviews

This book is about Soledad a terrible bigot in a world that is basically the X-Mens nightmare. This book is bleak beginning middle and end. the protagonist never changes and good people do not prosper. However it is interesting to examine the mind of the protagonist soledad and it does not want for action.

Worthwhile binge that did not disappoint. Motive for Soledad was a bit of a toss up but i found sympathy in both realms: human and super.

Whenever I had the free time, I would binge read this book. The conversations gripped me and the banter was believable.
