The Genesis Gambit

The most powerful heroes aren't born. They're made. Elias Vance is a disillusioned archivist working for the Global Oversight and Enhanced Human Regulation (GOEHR), a shadowy organization that controls the world's superheroes. He knows their secrets: the exact circumstances, the lab accidents, and the cosmic events that created every enhanced human on Earth. He knows their strengths-and, more importantly, their weaknesses.
But when GOEHR's true, tyrannical purpose is revealed, Vance decides to fight fire with fire. He executes a flawless heist, stealing the one device that holds the power to replicate any hero's origin. With the world's most feared agency on his trail, he must use the stolen technology to build his own team of enhanced humans. His recruits are damaged and dangerous: a kinetic-shield wielding street kid, a brilliant but naive technopath, and a rage-filled super soldier.
Each one is a living weapon, and their loyalty is forged in the fire of their manipulated origins. Vance has a plan to dismantle GOEHR and free humanity from their control. But as his team's power grows, he must confront a terrifying question: Is he truly a liberator, or just a new kind of tyrant, playing God with the lives of the super-powered?In a world where heroes are tools and origins are weapons, the line between saving humanity and controlling it is a knife's edge.
And Elias Vance is about to prove that a man with a blueprint for a god can be more dangerous than any god himself.
