Publisher Description

From the #1 bestselling author of Heat, Travel Team and Million-Dollar Throw. Zach Harriman knew that his dad was something of a hero, a man trusted by the president to solve international crises at a moment's notice. Suddenly people are telling him he has powers - people who know much more about his father than Zach ever did. But there are the Bads, who appear out of nowhere and attack him and his best friend. One thing is clear: he can do things ordinary people cannot. Like fend off grown men as though he possesses the strength of a hundred. Like sense when evil is about to strike. And evil is about to strike in a very big way. Zach Harriman is his father's son. And he, too, is a hero. "Every kid wants to be a superhero. Well, be careful what you wish for - you might get it. This is the amazing story of Zach Harriman and nothing Mike Lupica has written will thrill you like this." - William Goldman, author of The Princess Bride

"I really enjoyed this story! The characters were genuine and very likeable. I wanted to know what would happen next and I was rooting for Zack the whole time. I still feel like there are mysteries to solve, so I hope that Mike Lupica continues this tale some time soon! "

— Anne (4 out of 5 stars)

    — Publishers Weekly

    — School Library Journal

    " great Alex Rider readalike. Cool action spyish thriller. I enjoyed it. Not sure if it will be a series, but it leaves it open for one. "

    " I've gotten pretty far in the book and it starts out slow, but then it speeds up to my kind of pace... very good book so far! "

    " It was a good action novel. Most teens will like the characters and the plot if they like Stormbreaker type books. "

    " This book was just not for me. It was just plain out to scary. Wayyyy to much action, i cried alot. Im not proud of it but i did. But this book really made me think.... Am I A SUPERHERO? maybe? probably not. FINE BE THAT WAY. "

    " This book got better as it got past the father's heroic demise (sounded very corny). The book does leave itself open to multiple sequels that could easily appeal to teen boys, unless Lupica also decides to develop the female counterpart. "
