A Once Crowded Sky
King Tom, Fowler Tom
A tour de force debut novel from a former CIA counter-terrorism officer, A Once Crowded Sky
fuses the sensibility of bombastic, comic-book-style storytelling with
modern literary fiction to bring to life a universe of super men
stripped of their powers, newly mortal men forced to confront danger in a
world without heroes.
The superheroes of Arcadia City fight
a wonderful war and play a wonderful game, forever saving yet another
day. However, after sacrificing both their powers and Ultimate, the
greatest hero of them all, to defeat the latest apocalypse, these comic
book characters are transformed from the marvelous into the mundane.
After
too many battles won and too many friends lost, The Soldier of Freedom
was fine letting all that glory go. But when a new threat blasts through
his city, Soldier, as ever, accepts his duty and reenlists in this next
war. Without his once amazing abilities, he's forced to seek the help
of the one man who walked away, the sole hero who refused to make the
sacrifice--PenUltimate, the sidekick of Ultimate, who through his own
rejection of the game has become the most powerful man in the world, the
only one left who might still, once again, save the day.
