In this third installment, we continue Tom Carter's story of coming to terms with his new-found abilities to influence others, discovering other aspects to these powers, and beginning to understand how he came by them in the first place. He finds that his gifts are the accidental byproduct of failed military experiments to enhance the senses and abilities of soldiers. But even if the failures ruined a lot of lives, the prime movers aren't ready to give up, having come so close to success.
A story in the Haven Tails Universe
Archie McDermott’s war has taken him a long way from his father’s barbershop since Fireball Day, including a new family, but geographically, he hasn’t traveled very far, from Wheaton to Peoria, fighting the neofascist Justice Party faction in Illinois. His pursuit of vengeance is almost done, but he has a new purpose: rebuilding again in love, lust, trust, and faith in the new Havenite religion…and Schumacher Syndrome. He also has to deal with the ghosts of his tormented family past.
