His sight gets betters, his speed and strength begin to develop at an incredible rate. Unbeknownst to him, his father was the President’s secret weapon, a super hero who battled the forces of evil. Now that it’s Zach’s turn, will he use his powers for good or join the ranks of his father’s enemies? I felt like this book was a long introduction to a series. I really enjoyed the setting as Zach roamed around Central Park and Manhattan. 14 year old, Zach Harriman has just received the worst news any kid could get… his dad was killed in an airplane crash. Knowing his father’s dangerous line of work, Zach is determined it was no accident. He sets out with his best friend, Kate, to find out how it happened. Along the way, Zach finds out more information about his dad and himself. Apparently, Zach and his dad are not like everyone else. They have special powers and Zach plans to put them to use in order to find out who killed his father. As time passes, he finds himself between his “Uncle” that he loves and an old man, Mr. Herbert. He doesn’t know which one is telling him the truth and wishes his father was here to help him. no reviews | add a review
