Echoes - Edited Version

It's X-Men meets True Blood meets Captain America: Civil War in the sequel to the breakout novel The Affinity Theory by Eddie Dee Williams.

The Elite Defenders Unit of the Uri City Division of the Company faces off against its most cataclysmic opponent yet in an epic battle for the soul of a nation.

After a night of lavish revelry to celebrate Symone's successful completion of her mentorship program, a rogue political faction sets its sights on the seat of government and wages a massive powered campaign against Uri City as its officials near a crucial Senate vote that will alter the potential for change for the powered population forever.

Meanwhile, just as Symone is rising in the Company's ranks, a formidable shadow of her distant past with a thirst for global domination - along with an unmatched, unconquerable power set - amplifies her fear of commitment which threatens to tear her team and her relationship apart as swiftly as she crafts stars.

And the serenity that has surrounded Malcolm's heart for quarters suddenly dissipates when an eerily familiar nemesis confronts him and delivers a mind-shattering powder-keg that threatens to dismantle his entire world piece by piece with no way to put it back together, powers be damned.

Will the Elite Unit stand united and thwart the colossal juggernauts' assault? Or will the monsters of their past eviscerate them and seize possession of the soul of the city?
