Scorpio (Novel)

Scorpio is the first in a series of novels making up the Scorpio saga.

Preliminary Blurb
Scorpio is a hero. No-one is perfect, however, and certain secrets this hero holds will arise ten years down the line from when they consumed everything.

A group of five, now just four, have arisen to destroy everything most dear to Scorpio through a variety of different plots. They mean to destroy his family, friends, partner, home, and even Scorpio himself.

Scorpio must discover the plots, arrest the villains, face surprise threats, and put his life - as well as countless others - on the line in order to save everything.

Dueling with dark magic, battling with brawn, clashing with computers, maiming mutants, and finally facing his own shameful and tragic past, Scorpio will be tested to his limits.

And it will destroy him.

Second Blurb
Everyone has their inner demons. Everyone has bad memories. Some people have enemies. And some of those people's enemies refuse to stay down.

Bradley Richardson is a superhero, but he's about to be reminded that he's only human. After all, every superhero has their own rogues gallery. But Bradley - Scorpio - has his own... special elite. And they refuse to just stay dead.

Several years ago, the 'Clan of Crime' terrorized Bradley's home city, eventually dragging it down into the decadence of war, and now he must battle to save it again. Word on the street is that the Clan has been revived, that the murderers who formed it are alive and kicking.

Rumours and leads are everywhere, as is the fear and death of the old days. As one Clan member gives a hint of life, Bradley races across the city to track them down; a game of piggy-in-the-middle he can't escape. But as he tries to contain the resurgence, the final assault comes not from behind, but from far back.
