Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop student with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes. Five of this year's freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities, one that they must guard from even their classmates. Because for every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings, Powereds as they are called, have always been treated as burdens and second class citizens. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super. That is, until now...
Junior year has come for the remaining students of Melbrook Hall, and it promises to be the most difficult one yet. With one of their own gone and another under serious investigation, none of the former Powereds knows how many days remain for them in the Hero Certification Program. The time they do have will be filled with more trials and classes, honing their skills as they work toward the increasingly difficult goal of becoming Heroes. Ample new challenges await them, and not all of them can be met on the safety of Lander's campus. Fallout from last year's final exam has stirred the interest of many parties, not all of them friendly. With enemies pressing in from all directions, it's going to take new alliances, dedication, and countless hours of training if they want to last another year.
Titan was one of the nation's most loved and respected Heroes, until an infidelity scandal tore his image and family apart. After decades spent out of the limelight, Owen Daniels has decided to take up the mantle of Titan once again to try and make amends for his years away. Unfortunately, the Titan Scandal is still common knowledge, and no Hero team wants such a polarizing figure. With no other options, Owen is forced to take a job overseeing a group of corpies, corporate-sponsored Supers who do rescue work... as long as there are cameras around. Between a team that doesn't want him, fellow Heroes who don't trust him, and a nation that might not be ready to forgive the sins of the past, the return of Titan could prove even harder than the scandal that drove him away. But Owen will have to push on, because his new city is far from a peaceful one. A mysterious enemy is attacking Heroes and growing steadily stronger. An enemy that only the once-legendary Titan might be able to stop. If he can manage to stick around this time.

That story became L nasa Days.L nasa Days tells the tale of a similar, but much harder journey. It follows Bailey, a modern day magician who sells his spells for a living-but has lost faith in his powers. Wandering the Midwest in search of a purpose, Bailey stumbles on a farm town stricken by drought. He's given a home by a surprising cast of characters and begins to peddle his magic, only to find he's powerless to save the corn. The one person who understands his plight is Emily, a local girl that most people prefer to avoid. Together, the two will have to find a way to save the farms, and see if they can change their fate.Drew Jacob depicts magic as if it's hiding just out of sight in our everyday world. He writes in a crisp, simple style, his characters bristling with belief and doubt. L nasa Days takes its place among the best of contemporary magical realism. It's a story you'll feel in your heart, and it will leave you wanting more.

Can a 200-year-old prophecy and a non-believer save two worlds from destruction?Linsora Anselm is a Khizaran archeologist. She "hears" voices from the past, making her perfect for the job, but she's stuck in prison after sticking up for her principles-that is, until a mysterious individual pays the guards to help her escape. How will she react when she discovers her champion is the devil incarnate?When Permac breaks Linsora out of prison, he can't understand why. He's drawn to her... but she threatened to kill him more than once because she doesn't trust his ability to sense and influence emotions. She believes he and his race are evil, and she could be right. Forced together, they journey through the cosmos in search of historical facts they (and the rest of the galaxy) thought were correct. They discover pockets of truth on faraway planets-as well as a 200-year-old prophecy that seems to intertwine Linsora and Permacs' destinies. Through a galaxy of fate, love, deception, and the unknown, Permac and Linsora must learn to trust each other to protect their two worlds. Otherwise, the prophecy says war will annihilate everything in its path. Khizara is an action-packed, adventure-filled space opera of mystery, love, archaeology, and bad guys that can control the emotions of others with a thought. If you're a fan of Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, or Frank Herbert, you'll love this story.
