The Negative Man: Legends Can Die

by Jeremy Croston, Rebecca Blackburn (Editor)

“The mind is a fragile thing; one minute everything is working as it should and the next, it is shattered into a million pieces. What triggers these occurrences, though? Some say an event that significantly damages the body will do it. Other experts hypothesize when the mind is overloaded with traumatic events, it will eventually shut down and restart. I can only imagine what kind of life one has to live for that to occur.” – Dr. Craig Sanders, Black Lagoon Penitentiary Liberation Day – The day Pacific Station's newest hero, The Morning Lynx, defeated The Negative Man in combat. It wasn’t without its tragedies, however. The city had been saved, but at what cost? Three years later, the wounds have healed but the fallout from that day still lingers. The Negative Man, comatose at Black Lagoon, wakes up. His mind is broken and his powers are gone. This should be cause for celebration, yet another dark cloud is forming off in the distance. Ronald Victory, Secretary of Defense, has a plan for his country, one that involves the removal of all powered people – no matter the cost. In an ironic twist, the city that once wanted to rid itself of The Negative Man plague now needs him. If he is to remember who he is, both old friends and new foes alike will need to join forces to bring him back to power. Yet, as we know, there will be consequences to taking up the mantle again. Their exploits may live on, but even Legends Can Die.

Heather finds out that she is more powerful than she thought, she also discovers that Staley is an inmate at the worst Prison in the area. She is determined to get him out! Things get hairy when she joins up with the fab 5 to help with the escape plan.
Others are trying to help the Negative Man escape also. And someone else wants him gone permanently. One major snag is that when he wakes from the coma he has been in for 3 years, he has no idea who or what he is.
Will he be rescued before they can kill him? And who exactly is it that wants him dead?
Politics and power mixed into a captivating book!
LOVING this series!

I can't begin to tell you how I was waiting for this book and it didn't disappoint. Legends Can Die picks up three years after Stormfall and a lot has changed. Mr. Croston has done a fantastic job of keeping the action/fight scenes fresh with the addition of The Fatal Five and their creative powers. And let's not forget about the infamous Ronald Victory, another wonderful character that adds a lot to the story. If you haven't read The Negative Man saga yet, you're missing out on a fun, old school action series.
