Fans of the hit TV show Heroes will love Quantum Prophecy!

Ten years ago, all the superhumans vanished. No one knows what happened to them--until now. Thirteen-year-olds Danny and Colin are shocked to discover that they are in fact the beginning of a renewed superhuman race. As they rise to take the place of the lost generation, the unimaginable truth behind the explosive final battle that occurred ten years ago between the superheroes and the supervillains is exposed. And when the past resurfaces, Danny and his fellow superheroes must face the new challenges that threaten their survival. On the run from everyone, and not knowing who is friend or foe, the one ability the new heroes are going to need most is the power to distinguish good from evil.

    I wanted a fun quick read and this fit the bill nicely. I think I even have the sequel in my library. The plot was fun, the characters nicely done, and an ending that leads to more action.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better than awesome, esp for the 9-12 yr old category

    My 9 year old & I are in a mother/son book club. This was our most recent read, and it was really awesome, so awesome that I bought the next 2 books for us all to read (dad gets in the mix too when he sees us excited about a new book).

    This book is well written, exciting, not too scary. It's only drawback is the typical hero "good against bad" can be a bit typical, but this book is decidedly better than most.

    If you are not much of a reader and have a hard time trying to find a book. Then you should read this book because it was full of action and kept my attention the entire time I read it.
