The main character in this book is a low rent hero existing in the corners of the Marvel Universe, it appears. As references are made to various major Marvel heroes and villains, but absolutely none of them appair.

Ben Thomason is a superstrong regenerator, with hands that put Rennie from Doc Savage to shame. He kills another 'hero', of the rapper variety, and being a cracker himself, apparently is hung out to dry, even though it is accidental.

He goes on the lam, and a former partner tracks him down and turns him in. He ends up in a secret supervillain facility no-one knows about.

Here be monsters, is the rest of it, in the Cthulhu sense.

A government research team, babysat by two forcefield wielding, flying super types, naturally enough an ex-girlfriend of the main character, and an enemy who helped shaft him and sell him down the river, is bringing an alien artefact for storage at the prison site!

Things deteriorate rapidly from there, in an action/adventure thriller sense.

Entertaining book, and the prisoners are all segregated completely, so no Daredevil/Punisher type prison antics happen.

The spelling certainly leaves something to be desired.
