Firefight
Book 2 of the The Reckoners series
After Steelheart's fall, David joins the Reckoners in hunting Epics beyond Newcago while searching for answers about their powers and weaknesses. A mission takes him to Babilar, a flooded Manhattan ruled by the mysterious Regalia and illuminated by the reckless Epic Firefight. David's feelings for Megan complicate his belief that every superpowered person will inevitably become monstrous. Fast and visually inventive, this sequel suits readers who enjoy submerged cities, dangerous loyalties, superhero conspiracies, and heroes testing whether hope is evidence or merely desire.
