Hunter

**In the fourth book of the critically acclaimed Super Human series, Lance breaks his ties to the superhuman community in order to achieve his ultimate goal—vengeance on the supervillain that killed his family. “No one writes superheroes as good as Michael Carroll.”—Michael Scott, author of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series “A flurry of odd jobs (including time in a carnival), a brief romantic fling, and an intriguing epilogue make this appealing to all sorts of readers.”—Booklist** The defeat of the near-invincible superhuman hierarchy has created a void that two opposing factions are trying to fill. The powerful telepath Max Dalton believes that the human race must be controlled and shepherded to a safe future, while his rival Casey Duval believes that strength can only be achieved through conflict. Caught in the middle is Lance McKendrick, a teenager with no special powers, only his wits and the tricks of a con artist. But Lance has a mission of his own: Krodin’s ally, the violent and unpredictable supervillain Slaughter, murdered Lance’s family, and he intends to make her pay. Lance—unwilling to be a pawn in Dalton’s and Duval’s plans—turns his back on his friends, breaking his ties with the superhuman community. He embarks on a life-changing journey across the United States, searching for the skills and means to attain his true goal: vengeance against Slaughter.
