Defenders of the Land: Book Two: Aftershock

By Jay Jones

Cleveland has superheroes now. Someone wants to put them to work.

Seth Zerdowski can bend steel, but finishing school and finding his place still take help. With Jenny Jenkins and the Defenders beside him, he's beginning to feel he belongs.

Then a trail of suspicious payments leads toward a mayoral campaign-and a familiar scientist with an extraordinary promise.

Dr. Daniel Orkleson says he can deliver free electricity. Reporter Jenny Jenkins wants evidence. Private investigator Billy Blackwell wants to know who's paying the bills. Neither is ready to take Daniel at his word.

Behind a shuttered laboratory, Daniel is preparing something far more personal than a public demonstration. And he already knows who Super Zerdo really is.

As an investigation becomes a trap, Cleveland's unlikely defenders must put their practice, trust and ingenuity to the test.

Aftershock continues Jay Jones's illustrated prose superhero adventure, where hometown trouble meets impossible powers-and nobody gets through it alone.
