Reign of the Crimson Howl

REIGN OF THE CRIMSON HOWL

Superbeings called the Exceptionals arose World War II and helped defeat the Axis. After the war, they became national heroes to a new generation. By the 70s, their glamour had worn off and the Federal Government, afraid of their abilities, ordered them to retire or be imprisoned. It seemed the age of heroes was over. Then, a few decades later, a mysterious invasion of a nightmarish alien spore began spreading chaos throughout the world. Anyone infected became a murderous, ranting maniac. Whole towns were destroyed overnight. The United Nations begged the US to reinstate the Exceptionals. Once they entered the battle, the tide turned. Mankind was saved. Once again, characters like the Crimson Howl, the Automatic Man, and the Swami were being hailed as saviors.

But what if the alien horror wasn't what it appeared to be? What if a devious mastermind had orchestrated the entire catastrophe, manipulating the government into unleashing the Exceptionals? Super-beings that would, in the end, serve him alone. Writers Paul Landri and Jason Clarke whip up an action-packed sequel to their popular novel, Return of the Crimson Howl, and in doing so set the stage for an even darker adventure.
