[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 9379768, member: 3649"] Rising Tides (Capes, book 1) by Marion G. Harmon I really, really enjoyed this. This is the start of a new series in the Wearing the Cape superhero universe. I loved the first few books in the other series, and then kinda fell out of it. This got my interest back in spades. It's amazing. You get all the best parts of superhero universe worldbuildfing, a zero-to-hero story, superhero training, and spy craft all mixed into one book. Anyone playing a teleporter in an RPG needs to read this book if for nothing else than the huge array of Stupid Teleporter Tricks you can see.
