The Race

While the superhuman (but opposed) Sam Jacobson and Minnie Chu teams travel across the America of the 2040s, the country’s cynical, cruel imposter-President obsesses about killing the mighty, alien Storied Watcher; but Karéin-Mayréij is nowhere to be found.

As Jacobson’s team ups the ante with increasingly provocative and destructive attacks, Chu is forced on board the faux-President’s aircraft. Unfortunately – unknown to everyone else – a religious fanatic (who’s also gunning for the Storied Watcher, using Chu as bait) has smuggled a nuclear weapon onto the plane.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles is imperiled by the supernatural powers of "El Nuevo Diablo", whose sinister insect-army literally "eats his opponents, alive".

The Storied Watcher is thousands of miles away. Her followers are preoccupied with fighting for their own lives (and for those of their families)... or with more malevolent goals.

Who will save America?
