Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes. Five of this year's freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities - one that they must guard from even their classmates.

For every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings - Powereds, as they are called - have always been treated as burdens and second-class citizens. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super.

That is, until now....

Some of the authors prose and character dialogue are a little clunky and weird but I found myself absolutely loving it none the less. Can’t wait to start the second one and be back in this world

A little clunky but I love it so much it doesn’t matter

A clever take on the concept of powers and a realistically cynical reality check that corporate interests would of course get involved.

An original and somewhat plausible superhero story.
