Superhero Sci-fi Progression Fantasy

“Initialize is a fun, fast-paced, superhero action adventure offering entertaining escapism in its finest form… A fun, yet unapologetic love letter to the sub-genre”

~ Kris (The Fictional Escapist), at the BeforeWeGoBlog

“I really enjoyed Initialize… Emmett’s likable and believable with a desire to do good, as well as a superhero fanboy. There’s also enough mysteries to keep readers captivated and enough clues to make you feel you’re not being deliberately left in the dark.”

~ Charles Phipps, author of The Supervillainy Saga

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away.

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?

Emmett’s put the events at the mutagen warehouse behind him. He’s finished his degree, moved in with a new roommate, got new cybernetics, and things with Clara have never been better. He’s even got allies, and the makings of his own superhero team.

It’s a good thing too, because Belport won’t stay peaceful for long.

There’s a new supervillain gang in the city and they’ve claimed responsibility for a gruesome string of murders.

Emmett’s determined to push the bounds of what his new body and tech are capable of, but just how far is he willing to go? Will he and his friends be ready? Because much bigger problems are on the horizon and under the waves.
