Dubbed 'Specials', these children grew into adulthood cloistered together, forming rivalries, friendships, and enmities. Some became heroes, some criminals, and others simply lived out an ordinary existence. After years of petty fights, squabbles and grabs for power, a new unifying mission became clear, a purpose to their existence that they had all been unable to see before: to change the world"--Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li>When <i>Rising Stars </i>first debuted in 1999, people hailed its fresh take on the superhero mythos, grounding the fantastic in reality.
