Quantum Prophesy: The Awakening by Michael Carroll is a very good book. Not many books except fo comics recently actually had specific super heroes, normally they are just the protagonist vs. antagonist. I enjoyed the twists in the plot that were unexpected and the not completely obvious characterization like when Victor Cross was being introduced the author said how he typed really fast and the keys were almost all worn out except for delete and backspace. This book is good for mainly guys because it has some plot to it and has a few action/fighting scenes. I also like how they have unusual superpowers most of the time there is superstrength and flight, but in the book Danny Cooper slows down his perspective of time. Overall I really enjoyed reading Quantum Prophesy: The Awakening by Michael Carroll.
