Jane Watkins, a reporter for the Seattle Gazette newspaper, goes to meet a source with information about a serial killer known as the Slasher-only to find herself facing not an informant but the killer. She nearly meets her death but is miraculously saved by a glowing figure. He calls himself the Advocate, and Jane's encounter with them both is about to change her life and theirs forever.
It seems the Advocate-whose real name is John Tomar-is one of several people who has developed superhuman powers through a substance known as the Genesis Factor. On the estate of his father, Nathan, and with his guidance and protection, John works to train those with special abilities in service of a mission for the greater good-a task that draws the eyes of enemies. Meanwhile, Jane feels driven to discover the truth about the mysterious man-even more so when she sees a picture of him flying away from the scene of a midair explosion.
In this first story of the Project Genesis series, The Gathering of Superheroes is a new release with new material and an additional chapter written by W. B. Stiles to be followed soon by the release of the second novel Project Genesis The Struggle: Book Two.
