Publisher's Synopsis
It's like Dirty Harry hunting the X-men in this dramatic paranormal thriller!
He'll sacrifice anything to save these children. . . except being human.
The world became aware of them sixty years ago: people with astounding physical and sometimes psychic powers, often with terrifying deformities. Most folks call them deviants; deevs for short. Rejecting the slur, they call themselves omnihumans.
Manic is a federal officer tasked with taking down (allegedly) dangerous deevs. He loves his job, and he's damn good at it. He'd wipe 'em all off the face of the earth if he could, because every deev out there is a threat to mankind. His only child, a naïve college girl devoting her life to protecting the civil rights of those very same deviants, disagrees . . .
When her tuition funds suddenly run out, Manic accepts a black-ops gig assassinating individual deevs. But after learning a deviant he's killed was tracking human gangsters trafficking in the minds and bodies of children, Manic is compelled to investigate.
His search takes him beneath the utopian Los Angeles streets and into a concrete labyrinth where kids are held before being sold. But he's not alone: a powerful deev is already there, aiming to destroy the organization from the inside out.
Throwing all his skill and weaponry at the gangsters, Manic discovers that rescuing the children may cost not only his life . . . but his identity . . .
