Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

The Empowered: men and women who possess extraordinary abilities that set them apart from the rest of humanity. But those with that power face a terrible choice -- join the Hero Council and obey its commands in the service of world order, or forswear ever using their abilities.

Mathilda Brandt rejected that choice and went rogue. Captured, judged and imprisoned, she has at last been paroled and, under the Hero Council’s watchful eye she wants only to lead a normal life. But the world won’t let her.

Blackmailed by a secretive government agency, with her family’s lives in the balance, Mathilda is forced to go undercover and infiltrate the Scourge, the world's most dangerous rogue Empowered group. With no friends and no alternative, Mathilda’s assignment becomes not only a private war against Empowered threats to the world, but also a quest to uncover secrets that ruthless forces would prefer to keep hidden, and are willing to kill to protect. Will she live long enough to discover the truth, and if she does, will the world itself survive?

This collection contains the first three novels in the Empowered series:

Empowered: Agent, Empowered: Traitor, Empowered: Outlaw.

Alternate history, box set, contemporary fantasy, superpowers, superheroes, super villains, supernatural suspense, paranormal thriller, urban fantasy.

Giới thiệu tác giả

A life-long resident of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Dale Ivan Smith has his mother to thank for his love of science fiction and fantasy. When he was five, he glimpsed the cover of a paperback sci-fi novel she was reading and was immediately interested. (It had a giant radioactive spider on the cover.) When he was fifteen, she loaned him her collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom novels and he devoured them in short order.

He got into trouble in grade school for sneaking off to the library during class, so naturally he wound up working as a librarian for the Multnomah County Library system in Portland, Oregon.

He's been writing fiction since he was a kid. He's had stories published in Perihelion Science Fiction, Everyday Fiction, 10Flash Quarterly, and on the Toasted Cake podcast. The Empowered is his first novel series, beginning with Empowered: Agent.

When he isn't writing or reading fantasy and science fiction, he's playing board games, practicing yoga, and obeying his feline overlords.
