H.e.r.o. - Dark Breach Kevin Rau

Publisher Marketing: Following on the heels of H. E. R. O. - Malice, Carey and Ironsite Security's experiment has unexpected results. A virus has been let loose on the super population, as has a mysterious energy rift near the center of Metrocity. Supers find themselves mutating further, with some powers enhanced and others reduced. The heroes become absorbed in an attempt to determine what occurred. Carey becomes a victim of her own experiment as she mutates into a super - a fire elemental. She goes through her own challenges as Ironsite Security covers their tracks. Another person arrives in Metrocity with powers outside the norm for supers. Not a super himself, Blake finds that the experiment caused a breach into the Dark Energy universe, and is able to directly manipulate the energy that gives supers their powers, but for how long? He takes a dark path in an attempt to stabilize and grow the powers at his command. The book continues the H. E. R. O. novel series with detailed viewpoints from the characters in the story as they deal with issues at a personal level while attempting to maintain some semblance of normal lives. H. E. R. O. - Dark Breach is the 13th book of the ongoing H. E. R. O. series, and is approximately 108,000 words long. Check out the entire H. E. R. O. series! H. E. R. O. - Metamorphosis (1) H. E. R.

I believe my love of medieval knights came about when my father built a wooden shield and sword for me to use in elementary school for some event. Through my school years I read hundreds (or thousands? - it's hard to recall at this point) of fantasy and science fiction novels. Comic books and super heroes came a bit later, although I recall seeing the Christopher Reeve Superman movies at a very young age (and loving them). Since my later teens I believe I've watched nearly every major fantasy, science fiction, and super-hero movie that has come out. I still love reading fantasy and science fiction, although I wish there were more novels based on superheroes. This is something that drove me to create my own supers universe and heroes in written form. I love supers, but I've always wanted more character depth than a comic book can provide. (Not to mention the immense length of time it takes for a comic series to do a story is just plain too long to me.) Writing is a hobby for me, I'm a full-time computer programmer and systems administrator for a small company. Fortunately the skills I've learned allow me to work with 3D programs to render the characters (and covers) for my books. My hope is to put out a number of novels each year, time allowing. At this point I'd like to grow the H. E. R. O. series with more novels, as well as continue work on the new World of Dur fantasy series I've begun with Necromancer's Ascent.
