The Elite Way: Faces of Prophecy

 The Elite Way: Faces of Prophecy, Vincent Bowe, The Vault Publishing, 2020

First of a series, this novel is about Jake, Richard, Kao and Rijo, competitors in a world-class fighting tournament in New York City. An apocalyptic earthquake sends them to a planet somewhere in the universe. The four must learn to fight as a team for something called The Way. If they fail, the sentence "Failure Is Not An Option" comes to mind. If they succeed, they will become one of the greatest defenses in the entire universe.

This is a very good story and a very good start to a series. It's well written with plenty of action. It's got good characters (not the usual upstanding superhero types)and is worth checking out. It gets 4 to 4.5 stars.
