The story of the next few years after some of the craziness of the first story, The characters are trying their best to survive the fallout of previous events and deal with the craziness of Critical Mass who has taken Chicago hostage. They all have to work together but try to keep all the others alive so the power doesn't corrupt more of them. They also want to know why and what's going on with their powers. It was obviously a bridging novel, interesting but somehow lacking.

I have not read the first book, which made me feel left out. Nonetheless, the progression of the story is slow enough for me to play catch up. The story is about a strange Flash that lead to many people obtaining super human powers. These individual have different creed and personality, something that we do not often see in conventional portrayal of super heroes.
