Identities 1: The Aquarius Gambit
The world is growing stranger and more dangerous. Madmen look to wreck havoc and destruction on a global scale. Grown out of desperation or destiny humans have come forward with amazing abilities. Some use them for good, some use them for evil. Others walk a fine line between both. For the first time, seven extraordinary beings have come together to stop a psychopath from causing death on a scale unseen in history: Defender – The Black Clad Titan, Neo Frost – Alien/human hybrid, The British Lion – Cursed Immortal, Lady Powerhouse – Astonishing Street Fighter, Slipstream – Subspace Traveler, Ink – Chinese Priestess, and the stranger, Bob who foretells of a catastrophe yet to come.

Review for- Identities #1/The Aquarius Gambit
Author- Charles F. Millhouse
Published- Independent (Storm Gate)
Year- 2016 / Pages 204 / Genre of book Heroes
This Book reads like a hero story from the Bronze age area, I love the fact that he gave his Characters a chapter of their own to introduce them, at the same time he did not give away too much of their origins, so he could have flash backs if he wanted to.
It would be cool if he would give Defender a Solo story, or series of the time he went back in time, and met the Heroes of World War Two, this would be a great Golden Age area story line. (Hint, Hint.)
My Favorite Character is, this is a hard choice, Neo would be the pick, cause he has a lot of issues going on. To be honest I thought I was going to like Defender the best, Neo beat him hands down, the other one that I enjoyed was slipstream, she has the most to learn about her own power that she had her whole life. She kind of puts me in mind of Kitty Pride of the X-Men, so even though I am anxious to learn about the team the two mention above is the ones I want to learn more about.
What I didn’t like about the book, well it doesn’t have much to do about the story, more about Mister Millhouse. He mentioned that the book was young adult, and they shouldn’t cuss, guess he hasn’t read much YA, because they don’t edit YA for language, there is even a few minor sex scenes in YA. So, the part I don’t like has nothing to do with the story at all.
I would recommend This book to anyone that loves good ole super heroes from the bronze age. I have read a lot of his books; I would say this is the best so far.
I Rate this book 5 Stars

Now, I have to say, I was a little out of my comfort zone with this one. Do I regret taking this book from Rick's list? No, not one bit.
I actually thought this book was going to be a comic book, which was why I asked the author for a copy (Rick likes comics), but when we got it in the mail, I was curious...So, I opened the first page and read...That's when it happened. That was when I decided that I needed to read this book and throw out all my other book responsibilities. IT WAS SO......

I loved this book. It is a comic book (graphic novel) without the graphics (pictures). It seems every word that had a homonym was used incorrectly, but that became a game in the finding of them. There is a brief portion of the next book including at the end of this one and it promises to be just as good. I recommend Identities 1: The Aquarius Gambit to everyone.

I really wanted to like this book, but maybe I've just grown too old for this genre.
I passed it on to my twenty-something son who will write his own review.
