In this sequel to The Awakening, in which the world sees the return superhumans after 10 years. The next generation of superheroes is coming together to better handle the troubles they face.
Danny, gifted with the talent of superspeed, lost his arm and his powers in order to save the day in the previous book and is still coming to terms with the fact that his real father is a former shape-changing supervillain.
Colin, whose parents were both superhumans has the ability to r...more

When I first picked up the The Quantum Prophecy, I was intrigued by the cover. But don't judge me because everyone can be this shallow. The first book was great and I'm glad I can say the same thing about the sequel.
We were left wondering what would happen to Danny and Colin and whether Facade would get off easy. I
I loved that this book had action and you could see the story from other people's point of view. It's like X-Men, only the main characters are younger and a bit more relatable. We met...more

I think the 2nd book of this series was as great as the first book with the same comments from the first one. I realized one more thing that the author keeps you on suspense with the flashbacks in the book to start it off and to end the book. It makes the reader actually wanting to read more about the book and wanting to learn what happen. Also i loved how new chacarteres were introduced into the book and it made everything 2 times better and more exciting. I liked how he end it off with the tea...more
Book 2 of the Quantum Prophecies. In book one there have been no Superheros for 10 years but suddenly teenagers start to develope Superhuman abilities.
Where in book one it is about certain teenagers discovering their abilities book two is about them joining together. Just like Super Friends. Ok not just like Super Friends but I couldn't help but think about that every once in a while.
I have liked both the Quantum Prophecy books but this book was even better then th...more

This is short lived when their real identities are leaked to the public. Colin and Renata along with their friend Danny Cooper and their families are taken to the US to a secret organization known as Sakkara.

Very nice. I'll admit, at the end of chapter one my first thoughts were, "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!" but still! It was definitely worth reading. The super powers were not entirely creative, but it was a good follow up and the plot was definitely surprising! And the ending! AAAAHHH! Are you kidding me!? Even if I hadn't planned on it (Which I had, by the way) after that ending there is no way I can't read book three! >.>
I've just realized that I've already read this book before when I read the first book because I checked them out together . I reread it anyway and found it to be quite enjoyable . This is not the type of book I usually read since I usually go for Nicholas Spark movies and Meg Cabot or summer romance books . With the exception of Harry Potter , I only read books with romance in it . This was a good change of genre . I have a bi soft spot of superheroes and fairytales . This without a doubt falls ...more
Great Book. Full of action, mystery. If you loved x-men comic books or the TV show Heroes, this book is what you want to read. This centers around 3 characters named Danny,Colin and Reneta who are superhumans and must bring peace to a world that is corrupted by a dictator and a possible war and a huge conspiracy!
This book is more intense than the first book an diamond knows how to do use her powers more wisely.With an exititing plot turn near the end.
This is my favorite of the series so far.
Once again reccomended for people who like fantasy.

The "New Heroes" go into a secret training facility, Sakkara, near Topeka, KS. They meet two sisters and a boy who also have powers. They must work together to fight Dioxin and the organization he's working for.
This book was somewhat better the the first one "THE AWAKINING". It had a great climax. Someone had found out about there secret identities. I can't wait it read the next one book.
This is the second in an exciting new series about teenagers who discover they are really superheroes. Relationships are well developed and the action is nonstop!
This series of books are really interesting how superheros have been disappered and now 10 years after, it came back!! I love the character, Retana, Colin, and Danny!! They are so cool, I wish that i have powers, but it could be dangerous to some others...

Colin, Danny, Renata and a few new superheroes are trying to learn to use their powers, while the villains try to bring them down.
An enjoyable read, but did not really advance the overall plot along very much. I enjoyed the parts where they learn to use their powers.

A little better than the first one. Exciting and some unexpected twists. Better for teens as there is some language.
Somewhat interesting, but bogging down. Still miss the characters from Super Human.
I love it when a children's book challenges and doesn't pander and become too predictable!
This book does not disapoint!!! It's much better the first Book!!!
Book book that has really suspenses a person who is reading it!!!
great book, loved it, now im reading the reckoning.
4 1/2 stars. Very intriguing as the book moves along.
Good follow-up plot that is definitely leading us to the third book's stunning conclusion!
It has an epic battle inside this book because they need to escape to a secret location and they need to battle a supervillain makes me concentrate on this book.
Action packed and exciting. A great book!
One of the best books I have ever read!

“Stay down if you know what's good for you." Colin said. He put his foot on the man's neck and applied a little weight.
The man coughed into the dirt. "Who...who are you?"
Who am I?" Colin replied. He had been waiting for this moment. "I'm the the one bogeyman is afraid of. I'm the new face of justice. I'm your worst nightmare."
He crouched down, leaning closer to the man. "You'd better warn the rest of your low-life friends that there's a new hero in town. You and your kind wont be tolerated any longer."
Colin stood up and folded his arms. He wished there was a breeze that would make his cape fly a little. "Who am I? I am Titan."
And that was when one of the other muggers hit Colin across the back of his head with a plank of wood.”

“Looking around the workbench Colin spotted a device that looked like a complex handgun. "What's this?" He grabbed it and started aiming it at various objects around the room.
That's a glue gun." Razor replied.
Wow! How's it work?"
It's not a weapon, Col. We use it to glue things to other things.”
