Second to None

The Fluxion Trilogy #2

by Benjamin M. Weilert

Benjamin is one of a select group of people who can naturally use powers known as fluxions. Of course, he doesn't know that yet. While he travels around the continent finding more people he can relate to, a research team led by Albert is trying to get fluxions into a form that everyone can use. As Benjamin progresses on his journey, picking up two traveling partners along the way (Tecumseh and Penny), the research team is scouring the world, looking for fluxion cores and other items to help them create the super-fluxions known as Fluents. After Benjamin and his friends travel through a strange realm known as the Imaginary World, they come across a disaster caused by the Army of Amedeo. Soon after, they find out that Amedeo is building an army that is one septillion soldiers strong, and it's up to the small team of Naturals to stop him. But can a mere handful of superpowered people stop an army of that number? Furthermore, why does Amedeo need such a large army in the first place? "Second to None" is a story of friendship, duty, and betrayal. You've never seen science quite like this.

Reviews

[Cindy Hipps · Rating 5 out of 5]

Benjamin knows how to weave a tale. He has brought science to life and slips it in keeping others unaware of what he is really doing. Fantastic book and awesome series!

[Lena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another installment of scientists in a fantasy setting. Seriously, the fun part of this series is to run across a name, try to figure out the real-world reference, then check with the appendix.

Seriously. YOU NEED THE APPENDIX.
