Zephyr series by Warren Hately (#2-6)
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 5.14 Mb
Overview: Zephyr is an alt.superhero adventure influenced by post-literary writing and Sturgeon’s law. The style is cynical, cinematic and systematically against standard expectations of the genre. Imagine if Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho was about costumed vigilantes rather than stockbrokers and you have half the idea. Zephyr tells the story of a major, if somewhat jaded superhero in an alternate universe where New York City has been abandoned and the Beatles were a superhero team. Zephyr is a regular guy, but with powers, and it’s easy to wonder if his life might have been better without them as supervillains and other problems that only superhumans can deal with derail his efforts handling life.
Genre: Science Fiction | Superheroes | Supervillains
Zephyr II
In Volume 2, Zephyr delves deeper into the mystery of his parentage as his secret life starts to unravel just as he is getting his New Sentinels hero group off the ground. His adventures take him from the sprawling megalopolis of Atlantic City to rural France, parallel Earths and beyond as he searches for his father, the apocalyptic Doomsday Man John Lennon from the defunct superhero group The Beatles.
Zephyr III
In Volume 3, Zephyr hunts his mother’s killer, Yoko Ono, first to Japan and then to a parallel Earth where he unwittingly learns more about the threat of The Twelve and meets the legendary Titanium Girl, now kicking ass with a new group of heroes. Meanwhile, he faces the threat of the Amari and the consequences of his relationship with Seeker.
Zephyr IV
In Volume 4, Zephyr’s past sins come back to haunt him as the threat of invasion by an army of superhumans from another parallel looms large over Atlantic City. Amid the chaos, and as he is forced off-world and beyond in a quest to save all those nearest and dearest to him, Zephyr finally closes in on Arsenal and the Demoness, his mother’s killers, just in time to discover everything he thought he knew about his secret past is not as it first seemed.
Zephyr V
In Volume 5, Zephyr belatedly tracks down Loren aka Seeker to Atlantic City’s grimy barrio and uncovers a sinister plot involving an addictive heroin-derivative that bestows super powers, inadvertently linked to Twilight’s growing criminal empire. Meanwhile, masks across the city and the world start dropping out of public life as British super Sting preaches spiritual Ascension in Afghanistan. Zephyr investigates as part of his search for the deadly and elusive Matrioshka and, as usual, finds more than he expected.
Zephyr VI
In Volume 6, Zephyr and his fellow masks are urgently summoned to Atlantic City fresh from the turbulent adventures of Zephyr V. The eponymous hero and his allies arrive to find the city under siege from an army of mysterious terrorists backed by a secretive Russian oligarch linked to the world of The Twelve. As Zephyr investigates, re-uniting with Loren aka Seeker for a crash course tour of the city’s filthy underbelly and it’s even more corrupt financial system, the threat of the psionic vampire Matrioshka returns, plunging Zephyr into a fight for his life as well as his very own existence across multiple worlds.
