"If you love comic books, this is a must-read! The arcs are suspenseful and thought-provoking... and it only gets better the more you read it." ★★★★★ "Ingenious interweaving of fantasy and current events that whet my appetite for each following chapter. I'd like to see the movie!" ★★★★ Tensions in America are high and the Illuminati is trying to take advantage by starting a new American Civil War just as evidence of superpowers appearing in the human race is beginning to emerge. The good guys race against the clock to put together a team to stop the worst from happening. Meanwhile, the evil powers that be have their own powerful members... If you love TV shows like 'Heroes' and 'The Boys', you'll love Gods of the American Wild which combines the tropes of superpowers with a near-future sci-fi setting. The first half of the novel introduces 6 main characters and the stakes of the conflict, and the second half unites them together to put a stop to the Illuminati's evil plot. Eastwood, a wise. charming, and enigmatic immortal from the Deep South. Wicken, a West Coast rebel with unrivaled intelligence and a genius-level understanding of machines. Rockwell, the Hawaiian orphan adopted by a wealthy CEO, who can communicate with the Earth. Andromeda, a genetically augmented woman implanted with a symbiotic AI who can control space. Apache, a war-torn veteran, whose connection to the wildlife gives him supernatural strength and senses. Rhys, a Californian underachiever with the most powerful, untapped, telekinetic mind on the planet. These main characters have to face off against the Illuminati and its ten superpowered assassins as they unravel the mysterious council's plot to destroy American society for their own benefit.

Solid book to read.

The book reads like an action/fantasy movie. I’m a slow reader, so it took time for me to finish. But if 364 pages is light work, it should be easy to finish.
