Stars Above — L.D. Houghton

This is not a world of heroes...In the near future, individuals who would come to be known as the Advanced are born across the globe. They may have abilities far surpassing scientific understanding, but for all that they are still only human, and have to make their way in a world that values hard currency over great deeds.So when humanity's ability to decide its own future is cut short with the arrival of a fleet of mysterious ships in the sky, they can only watch as the world is subjugated and humanity imprisoned within its own cities.Now these super-powered individuals must find a way to overcome a mechanical monster of unknown power and the people who would betray their own race for personal gain. It will be a race against time, and the fate of the planet is at stake.And even should they somehow succeed, a far greater threat is approaching...A sometimes violent, sometimes comic story of ordinary people with extraordinary powers, caught in the eye of the storm.Book 1 of The Advanced(Contains strong language and violence)
