Ten years ago almost all of the world's superhumans - heroes and villains alike - disappeared.

Billionaire Max Dalton, former leader of The High Command and one of the very few remaining superhumans, has retired from active duty and refuses to speak of what happened. It seems that the age of the superhumans is over.

But two teenaged boys - Colin Wagner and Danny Cooper - are about to uncover the shocking truth behind the superhumans' disappearance. And that truth will change the world forever.

Note for readers in the US: The first book in the series is published under the title The Awakening; the series itself is called Quantum Prophecy!
