Synopsis

Summer's over, and Connor Connolly is headed back to school to start junior year. But with metabands falling from the sky, the world has changed overnight, and now there are thousands of new metahumans. Just like regular humans, not all metahumans are using their new powers for good.

Now, Connor's not only dealing with the pressures of being a super-human and training with his mentor, Midnight, but also has to balance relationships with the people he cares for most—people who find themselves on different sides of the fence when it comes to their feelings about the new metahumans and the impact they're having on everyone else's lives.

As the world struggles to adjust to the events of the past few months, Connor's alter ego, Omni, works with The Agency to apprehend law-breaking metahumans, and detain them at the Silver Island Meta Detention Facility. When he's recruited for a job assisting the government agency with disarming one of the most powerful and secretive metas in Bay View City, he never expects the devastation of that mission or the effect it will have on both humans and metas. Is Connor capable of becoming the hero he wants to be?

Now we're getting Avengers -level and I'm enjoying......more

Holy coincidence Batman! That's how I felt about the twists in this book. I mean twists are one thing, coincidence is another. The best part of this 2nd part to this book series was the attention paid to the work-life balance of being a super hero. Unfortunately, there were some things that just mad......more

Don't mind me, just rereading a series 6 years later... Yeah I'm on book four what about it... I will say book 2 definitely toned down language and trauma (the flash definitely handled trauma better...yeah it was more dramatic but at least they acknowledged that these deaths do affect people, acciden......more

Goodreads review by Michael James on October 31, 2014

There were many ideas/storylines introduced in "The Second Wave" but there wasn't enough resolution to them to make me feel satisfied. I wanted to know more about the Alpha Team and understand why they hated metas. Some of Sarah's Dad's reactions didn't make sense to me. There was almost nothing wit......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on February 23, 2017

The world has adjusted to a new influx of superheros and Reynolds strips Conner/Omni of his super special status as one of a few. Now as one among many he is facing moral issues in dealing with the ones who choose to commit crimes with their bands. Since the world has already dealt with a previous w......more
