The Shadowverse, J.C. Gallo, Independently Published, 2018
This book is about average college student Johnny Sparks, and his friends. An encounter with a mysterious stranger has given them all superhero-level powers.
Things get serious when Rose, one of the group, is taken by an alien warlord named Titan. He is the sort of being who aims to bring his brand of peace and tranquility to the galaxy, one planet at a time. Killing millions of innocent people to get control of a planet doesn't bother him. Earth is next on his list. The rest of the group travels many light years to get help from a legendary ex-samurai named Lung, who has been missing for centuries. Lung is the only person to have killed Titan in the past. Can this informal group of friends, and new superheroes, defeat the most powerful being in the galaxy? Can they get Rose back, body and soul?
This teen novel is very well done. The characters are very relatable, and there is enough action for anyone. There is lots of good writing in this story that would make a really good movie.
