The Oranos Imperative

After the events of The World of Heroes Trilogy, the heroes have fully risen across the world. Now with the heroes known, the villains have surfaced.

However, several heroes have their own circumstances to deal with in the midst of the world's eyes.

The Swordman must deal with the rise of Harold Hunt, a man seeking to clean up Retropolis. The Nano Man confronts a competitor spreading the notion of ridding away nanotechnology in favor of biotech. Commander Norland leads his team to the arctic to find the remaining ADDER bases while several new threats arise in their place, and The Beast, who's traveled to the Amazon Rain-forest to stop the military from awakening a hidden monster.

Yet, throughout all of this, Taltus senses something coming. A premonition in his last encounter with the Blacholian forces and their leader, Oranos. Taltus knows his invasion is nigh and he must warn the others while attending to his own current affairs concerning four unknown beings with abilities.

Also the inclusion of two hidden forces cause a stir of strife between the Resistance and the Protectors, leading to a war between the heroes.

With all these events taking place, little do they know how closer Oranos is approaching and the earth may yet fall into his hands.
