Roger Jech doesn't have any superpowers, but he has a super ability: harm him, harm yourself in equal measure. Hit him with a right hook, your jaw breaks. Shoot him in the head, your brains blow out the back of you. Drop him in a war zone, your enemies kill themselves killing him. Jech's a weapon to the wrong people and a saviour to the right, but before he can become the latter, he must learn to harness his gift before it becomes his curse.
Nurse-and-union-leader turned homicide-detective, Eminence Gray, uses her gifts of empathy and emotional labor to catch the most vicious of West Brandon's killers. Em's ability to maintain this skillset will be put to the ultimate test when the highest-profile murder case her department has ever faced falls right into her lap. Add to Em's troubles a corrupt executive from her union days, back and up to old tricks, and it might just be Eminence Gray requiring a little bedside manner... or a lot.

Now you see him, now you don't. But he sees you...Sure Jimmy Adamoski's a hero. He can move any earthly distance in the blink of an eye He can move you too. He can move anyone. He can move a child running into oncoming traffic right back onto the lawn. He can move a crook in the commission of a crime right into a jail cell. He can move so much more.But it's not just that Jimmy can move any earthly distance in the blink of an eye. It's not just that he can take things with him when he goes. It's that he can see where he's going long before he gets there. So think about it, think about the extent of those powers. The people in Jimmy's world sure do. What would happen to Jimmy if those people were to realize his potential? What if HE were to realize his potential? He'd never do anything rash or harmful, right? But he certainly could...Jimmy Adamoski isn't just coming to grips with his powers, he's coming to grips with a world becoming more and more frightened by the extent of them.Jimmy Adamowski: Teleporter is an I-never-asked-for-these-powers thriller that is as much a meditation on the moral ramifications of his unasked for gifts as it is a wiz bang action romp that follows a hero making the most of them.
