Terrific #2
The Silver Stranger
Alyssa Henson hates that super-powers have become real.
She had once dreamed of exploring outer space but kept her feet on the ground and settled for a more conventional life. And now, people are soaring overhead, outracing sound, transforming into photons, and so much more.
It’s unnatural. It’s weird. It’s dangerous. And it needs to stop.
The villainous Doctor Hades agrees. When Alyssa acquires power of her own, she joins forces with the Terrific Trio’s archenemy to erase all superhuman abilities—even those of her heroic best friend—in order to save the world.
In this exciting sequel to The Flying Woman, a new vigilante emerges as The Silver Stranger, a mysterious mind-reader who would rather spy on the thoughts of others than examine her own.

I love a classic superhero story, and this one didn't disappoint! Plenty of unique abilities, and lots of twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely grab book one, then dive right into this story!

Alyssa Henderson’s life has amounted to less than she hoped for. Now, she must also exist in a world where superheroes and other oddities are starting to become the norm. She hates it and what it might mean for humanity. Then, she finds her own life turned upside down. Instead of embracing the new possibilities before her, Alyssa sees that she might finally have a way of setting the world right again. It may mean teaming up with a super villain, but Alyssa trusts the ends will justify the means.
The Silver Stranger is the worthy sequel to The Flying Woman, which out does the first in many ways. Bringing in Alyssa as the new perspective character allows for a fresh take on the previously built world and she also allows readers to get quite a few answers that may have been left over from the first novel. Alyssa is an interesting character and her goals provide something a little different from the traditional superhero story.
The Flying Woman, which followed a more traditional superhero origin story path, set the stage for The Silver Stranger to have more fun in the established world. The hijinks are able to be a bit more wild and the stakes are able to be raised even higher. The established characters were all able to get some more development in this book as well, which should please readers of the first novel.
The Silver Stranger continues to build the world of emerging powers and irregularities that the Terrific Trio inhabit. This is an entertaining superhero romp told through a unique lens and with a conflicted heroine, who you’ll want to root for and against.

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging book.
Watching Alyssa transform, when she understood the burden placed upon her friends, ... Her realization reminds all of us, superheroes or dental assistants, we will benefit from understanding it's a mistake to judge a person by actions alone. Once one reveals his motives, then you can begin to see the heart.
The book has an open ending, and although Daniel says he's done with this short series, I hope he considers writing another book. He has to tell us what happens to...
No spoiler here. Very well done, Daniel.
