April 18, 1985-Into a world already wound tight with the desperate tensions of the Cold War comes Dr. William Donner with a startling declaration: superhumans exist, they demand autonomy, and he has the reality-bending power to enforce their status. The traditional balance of power is thrown askew by the addition of not one super-powered human, but six thousand. Before the Donner Declaration, high school sophomore Nate Charters was just an outsider and self-proclaimed freak. His unusual appearance, hair-trigger reflexes, and overactive metabolism should have made him something special, but his differences and low self-esteem have long since marked him as a target for the jocks and popular kids. Now, just as his unique nature brings him the attention of a self-assured older girl, Nate must find his place in the world. Why is he the way he is? What really happened to his long dead father? Why is his biggest rival suddenly interested in a private meeting? Is he part of a remarkable, powerful new minority... or just a misfit among misfits? Nate must discover the answers to these questions quickly, because those in power know more about him than he could ever imagine. And they're closing in...

Summary: Yes, Brave Men Run!
Comment: If you want to step into the frustrating and exciting world of Nate Charters I promise you wont be disappointed. He has always been different and now he knows why. I highly recommend you give this book a listen you will be surprised at the ending. Mathew Wayne Sleznick has done a fabulous job of wetting the reader's appetites for the series to come by creating a believable story, solid characters and young love blossoming in chaos. Now I want to know when there will be more of the Sovereign Era? I found the story concept of extraordinary powers and government conspiracy gripping.

Summary: Brave Men Run
Comment: After listening to the podiobook version of this story, I had to buy the book. Well worth the cost. Matthew Wayne Selznick has put together an amazing story that was nothing like I expected from the blurb. It was not a Sci-Fi action adventure. Brave Men Run is human and touching and brought back so many memories from my own childhood. It exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

Summary: More please!
Comment: This is the first experience I've had with Matthew Wayne Selznick's work and I must say that it was a pleasant one. I didn't really know how the book would be when I picked it up. I really loved the characterization and felt that the characters and the story were really well written. If I were to relate this to the X-Men as so many people do, I think this is the story of mutants who are just discovering that they have special abilities. Even though the story is set in the 80s, I don't think that the elements of the story are limited to any one decade. What would the world be like if all of a sudden we found out that there were superhumans among us? I did feel that it took a bit too long to get to the tension in the story (the story really takes a turn about halfway through), and it was much too short. I wish it had been about another 100 pages longer. Hopefully this will just be the beginning of a much longer storyline.(Please! Please!) There are just so many directions Selznick could take it.

Summary: True Literature Lives
Comment: Just ordered this book yesterday but am a HUGE fan of the podcast version. This is the type of book you could only dream of finding on your local bookstore shelf. Superheroes, teenage angst, and a smidgen of morality, you can't beat this mixup. Mr. Selznick, thank you for adding this tome of brilliance to our posterity.
