Titans Rising: The Calling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615566955)

Running across the rooftops, his brown flak jacket pulled and buttoned tight to keep the extra trauma plates in place, Daniel grit his teeth as his cheeks seemed to stretch and harden against the New York evening's winter chill while the pops of sparks and the cuts of the ricocheting bullets pelted his legs and face. This is how Sol War veteran Daniel Rooke began his work shift... It has been eight years since the end of the first intergalactic war and the tensions between the normal human population and a growing breed of superhuman veterans from the war called Specials is growing. Detective Daniel Rooke has carved out a fast track career in the New York Police Department using his training from the war to catapult himself into ever-higher ranks when he is tapped on the shoulder to lead a Federal Task Force comprised of Specials who do not know him, and do not trust him. Their mission is to track other Specials breaking Local and Federal laws and to make arrests with the world watching. The question is: what will the team become? Will it rise to the calling, or fail and disband before Daniel can see his vision come to fruition?
