Alrighty then. Let's get down to business shall we? Time to start working on the second book. I understand some of you didn't like my first book. It was written poorly I know. I'm not a professional. I do think I'm getting better and I hope the story is what drives you to read. That being said this novel should be better in terms of tenses etc because I'm playing around with AI. Boy let me tell you two steps forward one step back with that darn thing.

  As a reminder, my friends gave me ideas of what power they want for their character. I'm constrained to do what they asked for their character's power and back story. I have made some new friends over the years so they will get added in too. Let's start off with a summary of the previous book.

  Cole lives with his eight-year-old nephew, Dimitri. While making breakfast, Cole watches a TV interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson discussing the solar flare phenomena, comparing the strange global sounds to "Space Quakes" caused by electromagnetic disturbances from solar activity. Tyson warns about the potential for a catastrophic "Kill Shot" solar flare that could cripple modern infrastructure and lead to societal collapse.

  The broadcast is interrupted by a hacktivist group that reveals governments know the Kill Shot is imminent and have built secret bunkers for important individuals while planning concentration camps for others.
