The Fukushima Connection

Karate expert and nurse, Hideo Okamoto, persuades his wife Jen to join him on a Pacific Ocean excursion, but the tranquil day is shattered when their boat sinks. After mysteriously surviving, both are shocked to learn that something deep in the frigid saltwater imbued them with superpowers. Weeks later, a knock at their door introduces an enigmatic stranger who knows too much about that day... While the duo struggles to balance their nine-to-fives with incognito superhero missions, Mr. Danger and The Texan are as comfortable rescuing pets and busting minor league goons in their hometown as they are battling supervillains' diabolical schemes. Diving deeper, Hideo wages an inner spiritual battle as Jen embraces the physicality of saving lives beside her husband. During a final fiery showdown atop Mount Fuji, the authenticity of Hideo's spiritual conversion comes to light. The Fukushima Connection expands the HV-verse beyond Russia's Vlad and Svetlana to Japan's Okamotos. Befitting a book in the series, the couples assist each other in their superheroics. This second adventure juxtaposes the innocence of a freshly bitten Spiderman against the evil plotting of James Bond villains and adds a hint of Star Trek's interstellar awe. Styled similarly to HyperVigilanté, this page-turner contains another helping of nerdy Easter eggs.
