Simon Rising: An After the Crash Superhero Novel
Telekinetic Steven Ambrose must avoid the FBI and his criminal past to see if he can change who he is.
Five years ago, an alien ship crashed into the bay. Since then, vigilantes and criminals with extraordinary powers increasingly dominate headlines.
A man wakes up in the hospital with no memory. He’s told he is Steve Ambrose, a serial bank robber who was shot while being arrested. Everything changes when he discovers he has telekinetic powers. Hunted by FBI Special Agent Rachel Moore, and with unknown enemies around every corner, can he change who he is, or is the dark criminal everyone accuses him of being too deeply a part of his nature to escape?
From Author Brian D. Howard:
I love taking “what if” and seeing where I can go with it. One of those little mental exercises started with thinking about how different superhero settings explain (or don’t) where the powers come from or why they’re happening. I’ve had a number of different thoughts about different ways alien contacts could go. But what if an alien ship crashed on earth and there were alien survivors? What if we couldn’t even get inside it, but some people started being affected by the bits of alien materials/artifacts that we *could* access? That will be one running theme in this series, although there’s a darker secret behind some of it.
In my day job I’m a low-level manager in Corporate America. By night I make up stories I hope people like enough to buy. I’m driven by “what if” questions, and often those lead to story of book ideas. I’ve lived in a motorhome traveling the country, and oh, there are some stories I could tell. I was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and I’m happily living in Denver, CO now, with no intention of moving anywhere else. Writing has been a passion for most of my life. I’ve had to set it aside in the past, but so many circumstances have changed, and now I can focus on it more and more. Someday I’ll make my living doing this.
