The leader of the Mighty Manhattans, Captain Diamond, shrugs off bomb blasts, acid baths and the routine machine gun bullets. TRex sits in an armored vehicle capable of tracking and destroying ICBMs even if it takes out a few startled seagulls. The Mastodon commands the Pachyderm Power Platform with explosive bolt anchors and a Grappling trunk that can hold a rogue submarine against the Hudson River seawall. The Wrecking Ball is unstoppable at plunging through reinforced concrete with his rocket assisted depleted uranium plated attack suit. Air Wing is the deadly Baryshnikov in the sky streaking across the New York skyline. And Triton's Daughter, the undersea goddess representing her antediluvian world, is the strongest of the Mighty Manhattans. And the largest liability. The super hero group is incorporated by New York City and as such are subject to the incomprehensible and mind-boggling array of Fair Employment laws. The group has been issued a Cease and Desist Order based on the unequal gender ratio, abuse of the elderly workforce, and failing to pay overtime. This would be because Titan's Daughter is the only woman, she is over 100 years old and is regularly placed in life-threatening jobs, and receives no compensation.To remedy this and to get back in the business of guarding the most populated city in America, the Mighty Manhattans put out a nationwide call for young superhuman girls to join the ranks. One rejection after another...after another. The applicant's powers are just not M/M worthy.This comes at a time when the biggest and maddest plan to take over the world is being set in motion by Dr. Fahrenheit with an assemblage of the most dangerous super criminals to ever converge on the Diamond District. Step one to the plan is to take out the Mighty Manhattans. Of course the plan is diabolical. And Dr. Fahrenheit doesn't even know they are barred from exercising any extra-human abilities or utilizing any super sanctioned armor, machines, or devices. It was like throwing kittens in a burlap bag. Except for one. Triton's Daughter.The dozen or so hopeful applicants band together for a tour of the Diamond District, Hell's Kitchen and the sights and shops on the Hudson River docks. A female Mexican wrestler known professionally as La Porcelana leads the girls right into the midst of the planned devastation of the richest part of the city. She has them buddy up for safety and this leads to the awesome synergistic effect of reliance on the powers of the newly found companions in the coming conflict. Some bond through success, some through pain. But all through sisterhood. Super sisterhood.And they meet some help from resident superheroes such as Wilson who inhabits 9th street and keeps evil at bay from the children. "Witch, you know you can't cross Ninth Street...ever." And the Pain Angel with healing sympathies for their struggles..." Trust me Child, I've seen worse."This novel can be expected to spin off a series of exciting books when the Super Girls go back to their former lives and wait to be called in classic Mission Impossible style that will match them against new threats to truth, justice, and not playing nice. The ATOMICAS Origin series will bring wonderful insight into the characters and will include stories of the cameo appearances in the battle. Wilson has a story that is both heart-breaking and inspiring when it is revealed why he can't leave Hell's Kitchen on Ninth Street and why he can't be seen by the innocent. The Two Drops of God will show you a brother and sister team that chases evil from a horrible time in history. And MasterKey and MultiPass, awesome! A page turner that will make a reader cry, cheer, and say "I didn't see that coming." Everything that would be expected with this fresh take on the reality of being a superhero in a modern world. And none of the superheroes shoot rays, lasers, or microbes out of their eyes. That's just stupid.
