A group of outcasts with extraordinary abilities must save a crumbling world from annihilation in this gripping follow-up to The Nobody People. Fahima Deeb changed everything seven years ago when she triggered the Pulse, imbuing millions of people with otherworldly gifts like flight, telekinesis, or superhuman strength. She thought that would herald the end of the hostilities between those with abilities and those without, but it instead highlighted a new problem: There is someone behind the scenes, able to influence and manipulate these newly empowered people into committing horrible acts against their will. Worse still, that shadowy figure is wearing the face of Fahima' s oldest friend, Patrick Davenport. Fahima is horror-struck when she realizes that Patrick has built an army entirely under his control to wipe out all who oppose him. With nowhere to turn and few she can trust, Fahima must rely on uncertain allies: Carrie Norris, whose illusion of a normal life vanishes at Fahima' s reappearance. Clay Weaver, a retired soldier fighting to keep his husband and son safe--and to keep Patrick from taking over his mind. And, finally, Emmeline Hirsch, adrift and untethered from her ability to travel through time. Together, they might be able to topple Patrick' s shadowy regime . . . though it may spell destruction for the entire world.
Praise for The Nobody People"[A] complex novel about the cost of being different . . . The characters are intricately human, each rendered in minute and thoughtful detail that pushes back against stereotypes. . . . [The Nobody People] leaves the reader eagerly awaiting the next installment. "--Publishers Weekly"Proehl masterfully uses science fiction as a lens to examine social inequality and human evil; readers will find it hard to believe that they' re not actually looking into the near future. "--Booklist"Thoughtful, nuanced, kinetic, and, above all, human, this is the superhero story we' ve been waiting for. "--Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the October Daye series"The Nobody People is an expertly plotted, morally complex, brilliantly written, adrenaline-fueled adventure into a new dawn of heroes and villains. Hold on tight to this novel, because you' re in for a hell of a ride. "--Benjamin Percy, author of The Dark Net, Thrill Me, Red Moon, and The Dead Lands"Smart, exciting, lyrical, and fun. This astonishing book brings the superhero universe of Marvel or DC into our own, with all its rough edges and ugliness. Once you start reading, you won' t be able to stop. "--Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award winning author of Blackfish City"The epitome of a page-turner, with well-drawn-out characters, tense set pieces, and a cinematic feel. "--John Marrs, bestselling author of The Good Samaritan "The Nobody People smashes the ordinary and the extraordinary together for an electric story of modern-day America. Proehl' s strong narrative voice, his complex characters working to survive in a world that fears them, and the conflict and empowerment that comes when you must stand up for who you are all turn The Nobody People into a thrilling story, one that will certainly resonate with its readers long after they finish. "--Martin Cahill, author of "Godmeat" "Bob Proehl brings striking realism to this extraordinary story, delving into the notion of otherness with nuance and complexity. With an ensemble cast of badass, cool-as-hell, and deeply human characters, The Nobody People is a super-fun ride and a timely tale of love, hate, and everything in between. "--Sylvain Neuvel, author of the Themis Files "Bob Proehl is one of those authors you can trust to guide you out of your comfort zone. The Nobody People is a gripping, haunting, and complex book, perfect for our times. It will take you on a warrior' s journey. In fact, I' m reminded of something Gandalf said to Bilbo at the outset of The Hobbit: ' . . . if you do [come back], you won' t be the same. ' "--Michael Poore, author of Reincarnation Blues
