Nick Klein's grandfather was the Rocket. For three decades, the Rocket and his team were the Heroes League-a team of superheroes who fought criminals in the years after World War II. But Nick and his friends have inherited more than their grandparents' costumes and underground headquarters... they've inherited the League's enemies and unfinished business. In the 1960's, Red Lightning betrayed everyone, creating an army of supervillains and years of chaos. The League never found out why. Now, Nick and the New Heroes League will have no choice but to confront their past.

A story collection that proves less is more. The stories in this collection run the gamut from playful to tragic, conservative to experimental, but they all have one thing in common: they are no more than 25 words long. Robert Swartwood was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's possibly apocryphal six-word story—"For Sale: baby shoes, never worn"—to foster the writing of these incredibly short-short stories. He termed them "hint fiction" because the few chosen words suggest a larger, more complex chain of events. Spare and evocative, these stories prove that a brilliantly honed narrative can be as startling and powerful as a story of traditional length. The 125 gemlike stories in this collection come from such best-selling and award-winning authors as Joyce Carol Oates, Ha Jin, Peter Straub, and James Frey, as well as emerging writers.
His robotic invasion of Earth repelled, the Worldmind dispatches his top lieutenant, the murderous Vanguard, to find answers - and to open the way for ultimate planetary annihilation. Standing in the way: Ultraa, Pulsar, and a motley collection of heroes - and villains - who must overcome their old rivalries and work together, if Earth is to have any chance at all ...
The power destroying Worldmind reaches Earth. Ultraa defends Earth before the mysterious Galactic Council, Vanadium defends himself in a trial before his old master and Pulsar leads a daring raid, while Wolf makes an insane grab for absolute power.
The final year at Lander has finally arrived for the Melbrook students and their peers, and with it comes a whole new set of challenges. Still reeling from the events of their junior year, the remaining students will have to push past their pain - and so much more - if they hope to be one of the ten to claim the title of Hero upon graduation. Constant tests and trials await the senior students. Beyond simulated missions and classes, they'll also have to buckle down to learn about agents, prospective teams, internships, and other seemingly endless elements of being a Hero. For some, however, the classroom is only one aspect of the trouble that lies ahead. Long-buried secrets have been unearthed; old mysteries are finally unraveling; and what lies at the center of it all has the potential to rock the realm of Heroes to its very foundation.
