Short description

An ex-federal agent scrapes out a living as a hired gun. A disgraced sports hero betrays his legions of fans. A group of industrialists possess abilities costing fortunes. Money and power are no defense from a man with a purpose: justice. THE TWENTYFIRSTERS by KekoaLake -- There's no such thing as safety in numbers.

Extended description

Welcome to Pryce, Missouri. A city built on financial services and the home of America's superpowered protectors -- The Twentyfirsters.

Bon Carriker, a mercenary on the run blamed for homicides he did not commit, secretly witnesses one of the superheroes murder a young fan and cover it up. Adopting a masked identity and using his own talents, Carriker sets out to expose the 'hero' and any of his accomplices within The Twentyfirsters.

His cat-and-mouse game sets a chain of events into motion that places the team on a collision course with their deadly enemies. Justice always comes at a cost.

Lake puts a crime fiction twist on the superhero myth, resulting in a high-stakes thriller with action, suspense and a heart.
