Monde AmélioréSéries

Cette série plonge dans un monde où les individus aux capacités améliorées font face à la répulsion et à la méfiance généralisées. Vivant en marge, ils recherchent l'acceptation et l'intégration dans une société qui les craint. Les récits suivent ces êtres marginalisés alors qu'ils s'efforcent de racheter leur réputation et de prouver leur valeur face à des préjugés omniprésents. C'est un voyage sur l'appartenance, le courage et le dépassement des luttes intérieures et de l'animosité extérieure.

    "Talon Valdez knew when he transformed into an enhanced human, his life and his dreams were finished. Reviled, mistrusted, and often locked away, the enhanced are viewed as monsters, despised by the public, and never trusted to serve in the military or any law enforcement agency. Years later he gets a chance to set up a task force of enhanced to serve in the FBI, but with one proviso: each enhanced must partner with a regular human. Finn Mayer dreamed of joining the FBI from the time he was fourteen and made every possible sacrifice to make it happen, including living with his selfish mother and bullying, homophobic brother and never having a boyfriend. But his undiagnosed dyslexia stopped his aspirations dead in their tracks. His last chance is to partner with Talon, an enhanced with deadly abilities who doesn't trust regular humans with their secrets and wants Finn to fail. Four weeks to prove himself to the team. Four weeks for the team to prove itself to the public. And when another group threatens their success--and their lives--four weeks for them to survive."--Back cover

    Gael Peterson has spent years hiding behind the enhanced abilities he wears like a mask, even though he is an important, confident member of the FBI's exclusive H.E.R.O. team. The hurt and betrayal of his mom's abandonment and his father's fists are secrets buried deep beneath the ugly scars on his face, and he doesn't trust Jake, his new regular human partner, with any of them. In a world where those with special abilities like Gael's are regarded as freaks and monsters, it won't be easy for him to rely on Jake to have his back, especially when the abilities of a vulnerable, enhanced, nonspeaking child make that child a murder suspect. Tempers rise and loyalties are challenged, and when the serial killer targeting the enhanced finally sets his sights on Gael, not only will Gael have to trust Jake with his secrets, he might have to trust him to save his life.
