Paramounts

A Superhero Novel

Mark Paramount, the world's first and only superhero, is dead. Who will save us now?

The world had little time to morn as a mysterious wave of energy swept the globe upon Mark’s death. The energy granted a small minority with abilities beyond human capability. Those that developed these abilities were called Paramounts.

Thomas was walking home from school when the wave of energy hit his small town. He used his powers to save his family and is now faced with jail time or training from the mysterious men in black suits. It’s not much of a choice really.

Fifteen years after the Paramount Wave Event, Victoria is looking into the murder of a homeless man. The case always felt weird to Victoria, but it gets weirder when the body disappears and she gets confronted at gunpoint outside her apartment. She might have been killed if it wasn’t for the child’s voice in her head telling her to jump out her third-story window.
