Not only is he a licensed vigilante, but he’s respected by his fellow heroes, feared by criminals, and he’s finally achieved peace in his family, especially with his brother, Ben (a.k.a. the superhero Gauntlet). That, plus the love of his girlfriend, Charlene, has made life good.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut then Failstate learns a secret about his father. Rather than the loving family man he remembers, Failstate’s father was a criminal who got himself killed when he crossed the wrong people. Before he can process this new information, he receives a warning that a villain named Abaddon is coming to New Chayton. The message is all the more disturbing since it’s delivered by Lux. She died in Failstate’s arms a year earlier. How can she possibly be alive?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThose mysteries will have to wait, though, as Abaddon storms New Chayton, strewing death and destruction in his wake.

Unusual heroes are appearing throughout the city.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan Failstate get to the bottom of the reappearance of Lux, the influx of new heroes, and the truth behind his father's past––all while keeping Abaddon at bay? Abaddon may prove to be Failstate’s greatest nemesis. But what will Failstate have to sacrifice along the way?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wsite-multicol-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpening Lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt least I wouldn't have to pay for the property damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI glanced around me. The street had been ruined. Craters large enough to swallow a person dotted the pavement, with deep cracks running between them. Most of the buildings, brick and cement structures only a story or two tall, had been wrecked in some way. Lots of broken windows, although the doors to a CPA's office had a mailbox tossed through them. I could already hear the calculators totaling up the bill to fix it all. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy hands roamed over my costume, checking for damage. Not that I should have expected to find any. Six months earlier, Dr. Olympus, a genius superhero, gave me a super durable outfit. I kept thinking I was wearing my old costume, one I had cobbled together from second-hand clothing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imagination Investigation Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46776889376994,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8348\/5410\/files\/AdventureFailstateNemesis-Otte.png?v=1755810422","url":"https:\/\/yvbmmp-18.myshopify.com\/products\/failstate-nemesis-by-john-otte","provider":"Imagination Investigation Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
