SuperPower: The Ability to Fly or to Become Invisible: In Ashes, Phoenix Eagles Shall Rise:
The Ability to Fly or to Become In Ashes, Phoenix Eagles Shall Rise (Book #4)
Despite the world's belief that Professor Steele has been terminated, a rumor of his resilience shines through, especially aggravated by his exterminator, Myrena Gorgona.
The Professor, with his two nephews, Apollo and Rocky, take a lunar transporter to the Moon where Professor Steele, using his technological genius, helps make technological advances at the Lunar Hilton, creating lunar lakes that support sea life and extracting valuable energy resources from the lunar surface.
Rocky and Apollo Steele, with the help of Robbie the robot, create the first Alan Shepard Apollo 14 Lunar Golf Course, which they play on several times; other days, the twins, with the lunar real estate mogul, explore to own property on the lunar surface.
After being back on Earth, Apollo Steele desires to marry Amelia Kristensen. Still, her father refuses unless the Steele twins can help his multimillion-dollar seafood corporation by completing 12 Herculean tasks. The twins' tasks are to defeat Leo Nemean, remove the nine heads of Hera Lernaean, catch and stop Hind Ceryneian, defeat the Erymanthius Boar, clean the stables, race Aries and his Stymphalian Birds, capture the Cretan Bull, capture the Night Mares of Diomedes, order a Gold Belt From Amazon Queen Hippolyta, get the stray herd of Geryon, obtain the golden apples of the Hesperides, and capture Three-Headed Hades Hound, Cerberus.
As the CEO of the Steele Corporation, Myrena Gorgona discovers that the single life isn't as grandiose as she thought. With the help of her BFF, Astrid Christiansen, she embarks on a thrilling journey into the world of Internet dating. Meeting several worthy suitors, she takes each one to worldwide fashion shows, where her designers and fashion team showcase their new lines. As each relationship fades, her fashion orders skyrocket, marking the excitement of her new experiences.
She discovers a photo of her exes, Rocky and Apollo Steele, next to an attractive, young relation whom she cannot detach from her thoughts. She needs to know who he is and why she must have him.

What if SuperPowers were more than just a fantasy? What if they came with political schemes, corporate warfare, and personal vendettas? Roger E. Pedersen’s SuperPower: The Ability to Fly or to Become Invisible – In Ashes, Phoenix Eagles Shall Rise is a sprawling and chaotic ride through a world where SuperPowers aren’t just about heroics, they’re about power plays, manipulation, and, sometimes, outright lunacy. The book is a tangled web of high-stakes business drama, espionage, bizarre characters with unique abilities, and a never-ending series of plot twists that make it hard to tell who’s winning and who’s losing.
From the moment Glenn Peterson, an international chess master, steps onto the scene in Chapter 1, I knew this wasn’t going to be your typical superhero story. Instead of capes and spandex, we get high-level corporate negotiations, deadly rivalries, and a world where SuperPowers are just another tool in the arsenal of those vying for control. The writing jumps from serious to fun in the blink of an eye. One moment, characters are discussing financial deals and the next, someone is using their abilities to manipulate a poker game or wreak havoc at a fashion show. At times, it feels like a corporate thriller collided with a comic book and then was sprinkled with satire.
One of my favorite characters was Harmony. Her ability to turn people into mindless zombies with her words makes for some darkly comedic moments. She uses her power to expose her mother’s awful suitors, manipulating them into revealing their worst secrets. It’s hilarious, in a twisted way, to watch these men spill their guts and then have their lives ruined. But Harmony isn’t just playing games, later, she helps Myrena Gorgona, a ruthless businesswoman, control the fashion industry by putting potential buyers into trances. There’s something both fascinating and disturbing about how power is wielded in this book.
Another standout is Justice Nemesis,who doesn’t just bring justice she makes sure the mighty fall, and she does it with a supernatural touch. The scene where she causes a sleazy lawyer’s downfall is satisfying. He thinks he’s untouchable, but one touch from Justice, and his life crumbles faster than a house of cards. I loved the concept of justice as an unavoidable force, something that comes for you whether you’re ready or not.
Chapter 29 sticks out in mind because of how it took an ancient myth—the quest for the Golden Apples of the Hesperides—and turned it into a modern-day, high-stakes mission. The idea of Apollo Steele being sent on what feels like a corporate version of a Herculean labor is both hilarious and oddly fitting. It’s one of those moments where the book fully leans into its myth-meets-business-thriller vibe, and I found that strangely entertaining.
That brings me to the book’s biggest strength: it’s completely unpredictable. Some scenes are genuinely engaging, while others feel like fever dreams. The dialogue is snappy, the writing style is fast, almost frantic at times, and the sheer number of characters, organizations, and schemes can be overwhelming.
If you love chaotic, high-energy stories where power is everything, this book is for you. It’s like watching a reality show mixed with a superhero flick but with extra betrayals and ridiculous SuperPowers. If you need tight plotting and clear stakes, though, this might drive you crazy. It’s messy, it’s weird, but it’s definitely a ride. If that sounds like your kind of thing, buckle up because you’re in for something unique.

This book completely exceeded my expectations from the very first page and kept me engaged throughout the entire journey. What starts as a story about ordinary people suddenly gaining extraordinary abilities like flying or becoming invisible gradually unfolds into a massive adventure filled with mythic challenges, emotional growth, lunar exploration, and moments that genuinely tug at your heart. Roger E. Pedersen crafts a world so vivid and expansive that it feels alive with every twist and turn, and I found myself eagerly anticipating each new revelation about the characters and the world they inhabit. It is ambitious, thrilling, and deeply satisfying in a way few books manage to achieve.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Roger E. Pedersen has an incredible talent for combining multiple genres in a seamless and entertaining way. In Ashes, Phoenix Eagles Shall Rise is not just a story about people with superpowers it is a story about adventure, romance, humor, and global intrigue all rolled into one. The book reminded me of an epic saga where superhero action meets classic heroic myth and I could not put it down. Each chapter introduces new characters, new challenges, and new surprises that feel fresh and imaginative, making it impossible not to be completely absorbed in this creative universe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the things I loved most about this book is the depth of the characters. Apollo and Rocky are more than just superpowered individuals. They struggle with family expectations, personal growth, romantic challenges, and the weight of their own abilities in ways that feel authentic and relatable. Unlike many stories where characters with powers feel untouchable or invincible, these characters face very real dilemmas and make choices that have meaningful consequences. This adds a layer of realism and emotional engagement that makes the story incredibly compelling and memorable.
