Produktbeschreibung
In a bustling city of armor-enhanced superheroes, Eric Boxworth's power doesn't come with an off-switch. He may appear to be an average teenager, but Eric's abilities are far from ordinary: Eric can fly, and he can't stop. Going too long without floating causes him agonizing pain. What do you do with a not-so-secret superpower? Hide in plain flight. Tech mogul Baron Maddox takes Eric under his wing and transforms him into Eric Icarus, the newest-and the only maskless-addition to the Super Society, legendary defenders of the city. Equipped with his trusty decoy antigravity backpack, Eric is able to pose as just another costumed crusader without becoming a lab rat. Overnight, Eric finds himself catapulted into a world of action, adventure, and suspense, as he battles villains and saves the day with his incredible abilities. But as he revels in his newfound fame and popularity, Eric's inventor father keeps a wary eye on him, remembering all too well the shadow that Baron Maddox once cast over their lives. Despite the misgivings, haunting memories of his father's deadliest creation propel Eric further away from his past and into danger alongside his superhero teammate Powerhouse. Keeping up appearances as her alter-ego, energetic and good-natured classmate Jaycee, Powerhouse carries a secret of her own that threatens to turn Eric's world upside down. Will Eric rise as the hero that the city needs, or will his own story take a darker turn? Get ready for an intense ride because Eric Icarus is about to take flight.
