Synopsis

A brand-new designer drug arrives in New York City with the force of a hurricane: Triple X, a potentially lethal combination of ecstasy and gamma radiation that is literally turning users from the shadowy, dank alleys to the glittering, raucous party circuit into living, rampaging nightmares. For high school science teacher Peter Parker, Triple X's onslaught on some of his students and his wife's professional life is as dangerous as it is unexpected. For Peter's secret alter-ego, the costumed crime-fighter known to the world as Spider-Man, the situation quickly accelerates from bad to worse, as the drug's effects run unchecked against law enforcement's and his own valiant efforts to rein in the city-wide chaos. But there is a growing consensus between Spider-Man and the police that, for reasons yet unknown, one of the arachnid's most fearsome enemies may be behind it all as part of a greater scheme to bring the city—and one of its most heroic and hated defenders—to its knees at long last.

In this story not only do we see Spidey fighting villians, but we also see......more

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends in The New York City Police Department! I like this version of Spider-Man, this is the third novel I’ve read where he’s a teacher and married. I’m assuming this version exists in the comics because the authors reference the comics a lot—but I’d like to think of this......more

This was a quick read. More of a police story than a superhero story, and not much in the way of big action scenes, but still has some fun moments.......more
