<p>[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]</p> <p>This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration.</p> <p>If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it?</p> <p>Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit.</p> <p>Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape.</p> <p>His only advantage? A nearly useless power—a heads up display.</p> <p>Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true.</p> <p>This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know the many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus means the reader can and will know things the main character does not.</p> <p>This novel is complete, and being released a chapter or two at a time. After some requests, I went ahead and started a patreon page. No pressure, and not much to see there yet, but if you want to support the continuing story, that's the place.</p> <p>Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why arent 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.</p>
